Fiesta Chicken Nachos Recipe

Mexican-American · Main course · 35 min total

Loaded with seasoned chicken, melted cheese, and fresh toppings, these nachos are perfect for game day or a fun dinner.

Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 packet (1 oz) taco seasoning
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 bag (13 oz) tortilla chips
• 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
• 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup diced tomatoes
• 1/2 cup sliced black olives
• 1/4 cup sliced jalapeños
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup guacamole
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Season chicken breasts with taco seasoning. In a skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil and cook chicken until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side. Let rest, then shred with two forks.
3. Return shredded chicken to skillet, add water, and simmer until liquid is absorbed, about 2 minutes.
4. Spread tortilla chips in a single layer on a large oven-safe platter or baking sheet. Top with shredded chicken, black beans, diced tomatoes, olives, jalapeños, and cheese.
5. Bake for 10-12 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
6. Remove from oven and top with dollops of sour cream and guacamole. Sprinkle with cilantro. Serve immediately.

Tips

• For extra heat, add more jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce.
• To make ahead, prepare chicken mixture and refrigerate; assemble and bake just before serving.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days; reheat in oven to maintain crispness.
