Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 ounces Tortilla chips
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast (shredded)
- 1 cup Canned black beans (rinsed and drained)
- 2 cups Mexican blend shredded cheese
- 1 cup Tomatoes (diced)
- 0.5 cup Red onion (finely chopped)
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 1 piece Jalapeño peppers (sliced)
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Guacamole
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Taco seasoning
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Add the shredded chicken to the skillet and sprinkle with taco seasoning. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is well coated and heated through. Remove from heat.
On a large oven-safe baking sheet or platter, spread a single, even layer of tortilla chips.
Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese over the chips.
Distribute the seasoned chicken, black beans, diced tomatoes, and chopped red onion evenly over the cheese layer.
Top with the remaining shredded cheese.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the nachos from the oven and sprinkle with fresh cilantro and sliced jalapeños.
Serve immediately with dollops of sour cream and guacamole on the side.
