Cajun Nachos

I got this recipe from my friend Sterling. Sterling added cajun spices, sauce and sausage. I will use Al Fresco organic chicken spicy sausage when I make it.

1 boneless, skinless chicken breast
cajun seasoning
2-3 T chopped jalapenos
1 c colby cheese (sharp cheddar or monterey jack would be even better)
diced fresh tomatoes
sour cream
good tortilla chips, cantina style

Cook chicken according to preference (grill, bake, etc). Let the chicken cool before dicing into bite-sized pieces. Top chips with cheese, chicken and jalapenos, microwave or broil until cheese melts. Add tomatoes, sour cream and/or any additional toppings. Yummy!

CAJUN SPICE MIX

Essential to most Cajun dishes, this lively blend of spices
can be used in place of salt.

CAJUN SPICE MIX
===============
1/4 Cup of salt
2 Tbsp. cayenne pepper
2 Tbsp. paprika
1-1/2 Tbsp. onion powder
1 Tbsp. freshly ground black pepper
1 Tbsp. freshly ground white pepper
1 Tbsp. garlic powder
2 tsp. dried basil
1 tsp. chili powder
1/4 tsp. dried thyme
1/4 tsp. ground mustard
1/8 tsp ground cloves

Combine all ingredients in a small jar.
(The spice mix can be stored in a tightly
covered glass jar in a cool dry place out of
direct light for up to 4 months.) Makes about
3/4 cup.
