Next add a can of drained corn and more taco seasoning.

I love the Blackstone Street Taco seasoning.

Cook another 2 minutes, mixing with spatulas.

Then scoot this to the side of the griddle, lower the heat to medium-low, and scrape the Blackstone clean if needed.

Spread a bag of tortilla chips right on the griddle in a single layer, overlapping slightly.

Sprinkle 2 cups shredded cheese, drizzle a jar of queso, and add some of the corn and chicken.

Then another 2 cups of shredded cheese and remaining corn and chicken.

adding chips and cheese

Cover the griddle with either a lid, large melting dome, or baking sheet so the cheese melts.

This should take around 5 to 7 minutes.
