Chicken Nachos

 I celebrated my birthday on 15th May and my friend Heena was celebrating her birthday on 14th. We decided to celebrate our birthdays together since it's lock-down and we cannot go out anywhere. And these gals got us a cake, oh boy ! oh boy! it was a crazy corona cake. I have uploaded the cake pic as well. 

I was surprised to see this cake as I never expected it. We had an amazing night with great food and drinks. Not bad for a lock-down birthday. Heena made this delicious Chicken Nachos. Personally, I don't like it because of the smell. But i did taste few bites and every bite was like a flavour of explosion! Everyone loved it ! this was the special dish of the night. 

I asked her if I could use her dish to blog and she gladly agreed, and here I am writing about the delicious Chicken Nachos. It's a great go-to snack - appetizer. And its EASY !
