Ingredients
- 1 bag salted tortilla chips
- 2 cups shredded chicken leftover chicken or rotisserie work well
- 14.5 ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups shredded cheese
- 1 cup Pico de Gallo
- 2 fresh avocados cubed
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 Sliced Jalapenos
- 1 can black olives sliced
- lime wedges and fresh cilantro for garnish if desired
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350° degrees F.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the beans, chili powder, cumin, and pepper. Set aside.
- Spread a bag of tortilla chips over the bottom of a cookie sheet or any large oven safe pan.
- Spread the chicken around the chips. Spread prepared beans over the chicken.
- Top with the shredded cheese and place in the oven until the cheese is melted. Depending on the type of cheese, this could take between 5-10 minutes. Keep a close eye on it.
- Remove, add the remaining toppings and serve immediately. Serve with lime wedges and a sprinkle of fresh chopped cilantro.
Notes
- This recipe can be scaled down to a single serving or can be doubled or tripled to serve a crowd, though you will want to bake those in multiple batches. You really can just eyeballs the amounts of many of the ingredients if doing this.
- Freshly grated cheese works best. The pre-shredded cheese that you buy at the store does not melt as well as freshly grated cheese.
