Avocado jalapeño crema:

Instructions
Active Time: 35
Full Time: 4 Hours
In a large bowl, mix all ingredients for the marinade. Cover, and let chicken sit (safely) for 4 hours.
Cook the chicken either over an open flame directly on a grill (Thomas uses the Big Green Egg) or on the stove over medium-high heat in a frying pan or cast-iron skillet. Cook until they reach 175°, measured with a meat thermometer.
Set the chicken on a cutting board to rest for 15 minutes.
Prepare the crema by putting all ingredients in a food processor or blender. Add water one tablespoon at a time if it’s too thick. (For maximum flavor, prepare the day before and store in the fridge.)
Prepare and assemble the nacho toppings.
Roughly chop the chicken once it’s cooled.
Assemble the nachos. We recommend making one layer with a bit of everything at a time.
Top the last layer with avocado jalapeño crema.
