Ingredients
- 12 ounces Tortilla chips
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Taco seasoning
- 1 cup Black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup Sweet corn kernels, drained
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 large Tomato, diced

- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add shredded chicken and taco seasoning. Stir well to coat the chicken evenly. Cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through, then remove from heat.
Spread the tortilla chips evenly across the prepared baking sheet.
Sprinkle the shredded chicken over the chips, ensuring even distribution.
Top the chicken with black beans, corn, and a mix of shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese has completely melted and is bubbly.
Remove the nachos from the oven and immediately top with diced tomato, sliced jalapeños, green onions, and chopped cilantro.
Serve the nachos hot with dollops of sour cream and guacamole on the side, along with lime wedges for squeezing over the top.
