πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³ Instructions

Combine water, teriyaki sauce, lime juice, garlic, liquid smoke, salt, ginger, and tequila in a medium nonporous glass bowl and mix all together.

Add chicken and turn to coat; cover bowl and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours.

Meanwhile, make the Mexi-Ranch Dressing: mix mayonnaise, sour cream, milk, tomato, peppers, onion, parsley, hot pepper sauce, salt, dill weed, paprika, cayenne pepper, cumin, chili powder, and ground black pepper in a medium bowl and mix well until smooth.

Cover bowl and chill until needed.

Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler, or preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

Remove chicken from marinade, discarding any remaining marinade.

Grill or broil chicken for 3 to 5 minutes per side, or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.

Arrange cooked chicken in a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Spread a layer of Mexi-Ranch dressing over each piece of chicken, followed by 1/4 cup of cheese blend.

Broil in preheated oven for 2 to 3 minutes, or just until cheese has melted.

Spread a bed of about 1/2 cup crumbled corn chips or tortilla strips on each of 4 plates.

Slide a chicken breast onto the chips on each plate and serve.
