Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 12 oz bag corn tortilla chips (thick-cut chips work best)
- 1 rotisserie chicken shredded (about 3–4 cups)
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 16 oz shredded cheese Monterey Jack, cheddar, or a mix, or more if desired
- 1 15 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
- Optional toppings: sour cream, guacamole, avocado, pickled jalapeños, green onions, salsa, red onion, olives, shredded lettuce, chopped cilantro, pico de gallo.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
- In a bowl, mix the shredded rotisserie chicken with taco seasoning, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
- Spread half of the tortilla chips on the baking sheet. Layer with half the seasoned chicken, black beans, and shredded cheese. Repeat with another layer of chips, chicken, beans, and cheese to build it up.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and immediately top with your favorite nacho toppings like sour cream, slices of avocado, sliced of jalapeños, red onion, and green onions and fresh cilantro.
Notes
The nutrition facts do not include the toppings.
Rinse and drain the black beans well before adding them to the nachos, as the extra liquid can make the chips soggy.
Line your baking sheet with foil for the easiest cleanup ever.
How to Store & Reheat Nachos
Let the nachos cool completely, then use a spatula to transfer them to an airtight container. They’ll keep in the fridge for up to 4 days if you use fresh rotisserie chicken. If your chicken is a couple of days old, it won’t keep quite as long. It’s best to store all of the toppings separately to keep everything fresh.
Then, reheat the nachos in the oven for the best crispy texture. The microwave tends to make the chips soggy. Once they’re hot, add your favorite toppings and enjoy!
