Chicken Nachos are a must-make for game day or any party! Seasoned shredded chicken, black beans, cheese and more all loaded on top of tortilla chips!
I love great inspired dishes, like Baked Chicken Legs , Bacon Wrapped Smokies, chicken vegetable soup and the very popular chicken noodles recipe.
Chicken nachos are a great way to spice up your old favorite. Simple ingredients turn into something amazing that you can have on the table in 30 minutes–great for dinner or game day snacking for a crowd.
How to Make Chicken Nachos :
On a baking sheet, spread the bag of chips over it as spread out as possible. I don’t always use a whole bag, I just spread them out over the cookie sheet in a thin layer.
Sprinkle half the cheese over the nachos. Then evenly top them with the black beans, corn, chopped pepper, and chicken. Spread the remaining cheese over the top. Make sure the beans and corn are drained really well so they don’t make the chips soggy.
These baked nachos never disappoint! They are loaded with tender chicken, hearty black beans, sweet corn, rich layers of cheddar cheese, crunchy tortilla chips and more!
