Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shredded chicken, ground cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and cook for 2-3 minutes to combine the flavors. Set aside.
On a large baking sheet or oven-safe platter, spread out the tortilla chips in an even layer.

Evenly distribute the seasoned chicken over the layer of cheese-covered chips.
Top the chicken with the remaining cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese.
Add the sliced jalapeños, diced red onion, and diced tomato on top of the cheese layer.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbling.
Remove the nachos from the oven and sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the top.
Serve the chicken nachos immediately with sour cream, guacamole, and salsa on the side for dipping.
