Ingredients
Instructions
Season cooked chicken with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Use leftover rotisserie chicken or sauté fresh chicken breasts, then shred into bite-sized pieces.
Spread a generous layer of tortilla chips evenly on a large oven-safe tray or baking dish to form the base layer.
Evenly distribute the seasoned chicken over the chips, followed by black beans, diced tomatoes, and sliced jalapeños to balance heat and freshness.
Cover the topped chips generously with the cheese blend of cheddar and Monterey Jack to ensure gooey melted goodness.
Place the assembled nachos in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly and chip edges begin to crisp.
After baking, top with chopped green onions, fresh cilantro, dollops of sour cream, and creamy guacamole for added texture and freshness.
