Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Tortilla chips
- 2 cups Cooked shredded chicken
- 1 tablespoon Taco seasoning
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 cups Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, diced
- 1 whole Jalapeño, thinly sliced
- 2 stalks Green onions, chopped
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Guacamole
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the cooked shredded chicken and taco seasoning, stirring well to evenly coat the chicken with seasoning. Cook for 2-3 minutes until warmed through, then set aside.
On a large baking sheet, spread a layer of tortilla chips evenly. Arrange them so they slightly overlap for maximum topping coverage.
Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese over the tortilla chips.
Evenly distribute the seasoned chicken, black beans, and diced cherry tomatoes over the cheesy layer.
Top with the remaining shredded cheese and scatter the sliced jalapeño across the nachos.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbling.
Remove the nachos from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with chopped green onions, a dollop of sour cream, guacamole, and optional cilantro for extra freshness.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Awesome Chicken Nachos!
