Notes
Momma Goldberg’s steams their nachos. I don’t have a professional steamer, so I layered all the ingredients and baked them.If you want to steam the nachos at home, here is what you will need:Helen Chen’s Asian Kitchen 10″ Bamboo Steamer Basket:https://amzn.to/3ilFtDUBamboo Steamer Ring Adaptor:https://amzn.to/38NWOCaParchment Bamboo Steamer Liners:https://amzn.to/3bYzSlZLayer some chips, chicken, cheese, and jalapenos in the bamboo steamer and steam a minute or two until the cheese has melted.

I used Frank’s Buffalo Wing Sauce.
I like to quickly cook the chicken in a skillet after it is tossed in the buffalo sauce. This helps the sauce to get absorbed into the chicken and keep the nachos from getting soggy. You can skip that step if you prefer.
I use pepper jack cheese because that is what the original recipe uses. Feel free to use any cheese that you enjoy.
You can use fresh or pickled jalapeños on the nachos.
