Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt
  • 8 oz sturdy tortilla chips
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
  • 1/2 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed
  • 1/4 cup pickled jalapeño slices
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, toss chicken with cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt until coated.
  2. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread chips on a rimmed baking sheet. Top with seasoned chicken, beans, corn, jalapeños, red onion, and cheese.
  3. Bake 8 to 10 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  4. Dollop sour cream, spoon salsa, and add avocado and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.

Notes

These nachos are at their best straight from the oven. If using a rotisserie chicken, remove the skin and shred the meat. For a vegetarian version, double the black beans and skip the chicken.
