Prep Time: 1 hour 40 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 50 minutes
Equipment: Large mixing bowl, baking sheet, parchment paper, skillet or heavy-bottomed pan
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, finely ground nachos, cayenne pepper, instant yeast, sunflower oil, honey, salt, and lukewarm water. Mix thoroughly until it starts to come together as a dough.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 10-12 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the kneaded dough back into the bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
- Once risen, divide the dough into 9 equal portions (approximately 79g each), shaping each into a round ball.
- Roll out each dough ball into an oval shape with a rolling pin.
- Place the rolled-out dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, allowing some space in between for them to expand. Cover lightly and let them rise for another 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
- Preheat a heavy-bottomed skillet or pan over medium heat. Place the buns on the skillet and cook for a few minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- To prepare the chicken mixture, heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
- Add the shredded chicken, salt, cumin, paprika powder, cayenne pepper, dried parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, and water to the pan. Cook for 5-6 minutes until the chicken is well seasoned and fully cooked.
- Remove from heat and stir in shredded cheddar cheese until melted and combined.
- Assemble the buns by slicing them in half and layering with lettuce mix, chicken, avocado slices, and nacho cheese chips.
- Drizzle with extra samurai sauce to taste and serve immediately for maximum flavor and crunch.
Serving Suggestion: 9 servings
Cooking Tips:
- The water temperature is crucial for yeast activation; ensure it's around 37-40°C.
- Baking the buns is an alternative to pan-cooking. Preheat the oven to 200°C and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden.
- Prevent avocado browning by adding a splash of lemon or lime juice.
- Customize with toppings like sliced tomatoes, jalapeños, or sweet corn for added flavor profiles.
- Marinate the chicken up to a day ahead for deeper taste.
- Adjust heat levels with milder spice options for a less spicy version.
