Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the chili powder, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat well. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Nachos

    On a large baking sheet, spread out a layer of tortilla chips. Top with black beans, sliced grilled chicken, and chipotle cheese sauce.

  4. 4

    Add Toppings

    Sprinkle jalapeños over the nachos, then bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes or until the cheese sauce is bubbly.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the nachos from the oven and top with pico de gallo, diced avocado, and a dollop of sour cream. Serve immediately.
