Instructions

Preheat oven to 375F.

Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil for quick clean up later. Use large flat chips to form the first layer on the sheet pan, using just over half of the chips. It does not have to be perfect. Add toppings, starting with chicken, then beans, peppers, any other toppings you want, and finally cheese. Use up about half of your toppings.

When the first layer is complete, semi-carefully place the second layer of chips over the first. Repeat the same topping layers as the bottom, adding cheese last.

Bake for 9-11 minutes, watching carefully towards the end. Top with cilantro, sour cream, avocados, and salsa.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Shred Chicken While Warm 🔥
Shred your rotisserie chicken while it's still warm on Sunday prep day—it separates more easily and stays tender, preventing dry results when reheated Monday night.
Layer Strategically for Even Heating 🧀
Place cheese on the tortilla chips first, then add beans and chicken on top—this creates a moisture barrier that prevents chips from getting soggy while ensuring everything melts evenly.
Toast Spices in Oil Before Mixing 🌶️
Bloom your cumin and cayenne pepper in a bit of oil before combining with the chicken and beans to unlock deeper, more complex flavors that elevate the entire dish.
Prep Vegetables Raw and Separate 🫑
Keep diced jalapeños and green bell peppers uncooked and stored separately until assembly—this preserves their crisp texture and bright flavor, preventing them from wilting during make-ahead storage.
Use a Broiler for Final Assembly ⏱️
Instead of a regular oven, finish your nachos under the broiler for just 2-3 minutes to achieve melted, bubbly cheese while keeping the chips crispy and maintaining structural integrity.
