Method

Nachos

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet or oven-safe platter with parchment paper if desired.

  2. 2

    Prepare toppings

    In a skillet, warm the shredded chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (optional) until heated through. In a small bowl, mix cilantro and lime juice (optional) for brightness.

  3. 3

    Layer nachos

    Spread half of the chips on the baking sheet. Top with half of the chicken, half of the beans, and half of the cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese. Layer with the remaining chips, followed by the remaining chicken, beans, and cheeses.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Bake for 6-8 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove from the oven.

  5. 5

    Finish and serve

    Top with pico de gallo, sour cream/crema, jalapeño slices, and chopped cilantro. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
