Cedar Planked Nachos

Monty77

Just finished a batch of one of my favourite apps to make on the Egg, cedar planked nachos

I cook some chicken breast up on the egg a day or two before I plan to make the nachos, I slice them into nice strips and marinate overnight in franks red hot buffalo sauce and red pepper flakes.  

When I begin prep the nachos, I get my 12" cedar plank that has been soaking for about 1-1.5 hours, and start to place tostitos scoops onto the plank, preferably upright to catch the delicious toppings in them.  I cut up green and red peppers, onion, fresh cooked bacon, chives, the marinated chicken breast strips, and one or two jalapeno peppers depending on the crowd.  I ensure layer one gets a good portion of toppings and then cover with 5 cheese blend and swamp venom from DP.  I then make a second layer with the same steps, sometimes even a third layer...

I place the plank of nachos on my preheated egg at 375-400* and cook direct for about 15-25 minutes or when cheese is melted to perfection.  

For those who have not tried nachos cooked on the cedar plank, its worth the effort as the flavours from the cedar are absorbed by the cheese and chicken creating a wonderful aroma and taste.  

I hope you enjoy it as much as my friends and I do!  Cheers! 

Note, must be served with cold beverages to enhance the experience and taste!

Those look beautiful...thanks for sharing! 

I wouldn't mind trying those with some leftover pulled pork or pulled beef as well.

Now there is an original idea. They look great. Might have to try that on one of my cheat days.

Weird, but creative.  Kudos on that.  Might toy around with nachos on the egg now.

Made a new batch of these a couple nights ago, turned out really good!  It is one off the first chances I have had to get some shots before they get destroyed. 

Anyone else try em out or have another method to share?
