Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Chicken

    In a skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and sprinkle with taco seasoning. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C). Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes.

  2. 2

    Shred the Chicken

    Once the chicken has cooled slightly, use two forks to shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.

Assembly

  1. 3

    Layer the Chips and Chicken

    On a large serving platter or individual plates, create a layer of tortilla chips. Top with the shredded chicken, making sure it’s evenly distributed.

  2. 4

    Add Cheese and Toppings

    Sprinkle shredded cheese over the chicken. Then, add diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, and diced avocado on top. Finally, drizzle with sour cream, and sprinkle sliced jalapeños and chopped cilantro for garnish.
