Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Shredded roast chicken
- 2 pieces Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 2 tablespoons Adobo sauce
- 1 bag (approximately 12 ounces) Tortilla chips
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 cup Black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 large Avocado
- 1 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 Lime, juiced
- 1 Garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 teaspoons Vegetable oil
- 2 Green onions, finely chopped
- 1 Fresh jalapeño, thinly sliced (optional)
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, mix the shredded roast chicken with the chipotle peppers (finely chopped) and adobo sauce until fully coated. Set aside.
On a large baking sheet, arrange the tortilla chips in an even layer.
Sprinkle half of the cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese over the tortilla chips.
Scatter the seasoned chicken and black beans over the cheese layer.
Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top to ensure even coverage.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and slightly bubbly.
While the nachos bake, prepare the cilantro avocado crema. In a blender or food processor, combine avocado, sour cream, fresh cilantro, lime juice, garlic, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
Once the nachos are out of the oven, drizzle them with vegetable oil (for slight shine and crispness).
Top the nachos with green onions, diced tomatoes, and jalapeño slices if desired.
Serve immediately with cilantro avocado crema on the side or drizzled over the top.
