Chipotle Ranch Chicken Nachos

Smoky, spicy, and totally satisfying — these Chipotle Ranch Chicken Nachos bring bold flavors and irresistible textures straight from the Yoder Smokers YS640S Pellet Grill. Marinated chicken breasts soak up the heat of Sweetwater Spice Tres Chiles, then hit a preheated cast iron pan inside the Yoder’s Wood-Fired Oven attachment for an unforgettable sear. Piled onto tortilla chips with melty pepper jack, black beans, zesty salsa, and a creamy homemade chipotle ranch, this dish is game day-ready and weeknight-approved. It’s a hands-on grill recipe with layers of heat, crunch, and cool contrast in every bite.
