Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken use storebought rotisserie chicken to save time
- ½ cup Red Enchilada Sauce
- about 8 ounces corn tortilla chips
- ½ cup cooked black beans
- ½ cup bell peppers diced small (I used red and yellow)
- ½ cup corn I used frozen; thaw before using
- 2 cups Mexican shredded cheese blend
- ¼ cup Pico de Gallo
- 1 teaspoon fresh cilantro finely minced
- guacamole sour cream, or your other favorite Mexican-inspired fixings, optional
Instructions
- To a medium bowl add the shredded chicken, enchilada sauce, and stir to combine; set aside.
- To a large microwave-safe plate or shallow bowl, add the chips in a flat layer or without too much overlap so each chip gets its share of toppings.
- To the chips, evenly top with the chicken, black beans, bell peppers, corn, cheese, and microwave on high for about 2 minutes (all microwaves vary), stopping every 30 seconds to check, or until cheese has melted.
- Evenly garnish with pico de gallo, cilantro, any optional toppings, and serve immediately. Nachos are best warm and fresh.

Notes
- If you prefer, you can bake the nachos at 375F for about 5 to 10 minutes, or until cheese has melted.
