Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces tortilla chips
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 1 cup red enchilada sauce
- 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 1 cup black beans
- 1 cup corn kernels (canned or frozen, thawed)
- 0.5 cup sliced black olives
- 0.5 cup diced red onion
- 1 medium diced tomato
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup guacamole
- 0.25 cup jalapeño slices (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a large baking sheet or oven-safe skillet with parchment paper or lightly grease with non-stick spray.
Spread the tortilla chips evenly across the baking sheet, ensuring some overlap for easy layering.
In a medium bowl, mix the shredded cooked chicken with 3/4 cup of the enchilada sauce until well coated.
Evenly distribute the chicken mixture over the tortilla chips.
Sprinkle the black beans and corn kernels over the chicken, spreading them generously across the chips.
Drizzle the remaining 1/4 cup of enchilada sauce evenly over the chips and toppings.
Cover everything with the shredded Mexican blend cheese, ensuring an even layer for maximum cheesiness.
Add the sliced black olives and diced red onion on top of the cheese layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the nachos from the oven and sprinkle with diced tomato and chopped cilantro.
Serve immediately with dollops of sour cream and guacamole on the side or on top. Garnish with optional jalapeño slices for extra heat, if desired.
