Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 bag Tortilla Chips Use your favorite brand or homemade.
- 2 cups Cooked Chicken (shredded) Store-bought rotisserie chicken works well.
- 1 cup BBQ Sauce Make your own for extra flavor.
- 2 cups Shredded Cheese (Cheddar or blend) Mix mozzarella for additional stretchiness.

- Sour Cream For serving; Greek yogurt can be a lighter alternative.
- 1/4 cup Green Onions (chopped) For garnish; adds a fresh touch.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- On a large sheet pan, spread out the tortilla chips in an even layer.
- In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken with barbecue sauce until well combined.
- Spread the BBQ chicken evenly over the chips.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top.
- Add jalapenos if desired.
- Bake in the oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped green onions.
- Serve with sour cream on the side.
Notes
Opt for thicker tortilla chips for better support of toppings. Use a mix of cheese varieties for more complex flavor. Warm BBQ sauce before mixing with chicken for easier coating. Monitor nachos closely to avoid overcooking cheese. Add toppings like black olives or corn for variety.
