Servings: 6 Servings
Ingredients
- 4 cups shredded chicken
- 2 tablespoons adobo sauce, from a can of chipotles in adobo sauce
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 8 ounces tortilla chips
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cups shredded Monterey jack cheese
- 1, 13.5-ounce can pinto beans, rinsed
- ½ cup sliced pickled jalapeños, optional, for garnish
- ½ cup sour cream, optional, for garnish
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped, optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Add the chicken, adobo sauce, lime juice, and salt to a bowl, and toss until evenly combined.
- Spread the chips out on a rimmed baking sheet, top with the chicken, then layer the beans, and finally, the shredded cheese.
- Bake for 20 minutes, until the cheese is melty and bubbly.
- Top with the guacamole, jalapeños, fresh cilantro, sour cream, and/or anything else you like. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use a different protein - swap the shredded chicken for shredded beef or shredded pork, if you'd like!
- Customize to your liking - just because we used jalapeños, guac, and sour cream as toppings here doesn't mean you have to! Feel free to swap any of the toppings we chose out for something else or just add in as many toppings as you'd like. In my book, there's no such thing as too many nacho toppings!
- Make it dairy-free - there are a couple of ways to do this: you can either grab a dairy-free shredded cheese (these are pretty easy to find at most grocery stores) or swap the shredded cheese for a dairy-free nacho cheese sauce. Then, either skip the sour cream or grab a dairy-free sour cream.
- Make it grain-free - swap regular tortilla chips for a grain-free option (Siete makes delicious grain-free tortilla chips).
- Make it gluten-free - this dish is gluten-free as-is, so no swaps or modifications needed!
