A quick and easy recipe featuring smoky BBQ pulled chicken layered over crispy tortilla chips with melted cheese and fresh toppings, perfect for parties and casual snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great!)
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce (Sweet Baby Ray’s recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 cups tortilla chips (thick and sturdy)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/2 cup black beans, rinsed and drained (optional)
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes or pico de gallo
  • 1/4 cup sliced jalapeños (adjust to heat preference)
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt for lighter option)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • Avocado slices or guacamole

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken with BBQ sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat evenly.
  3. Spread half the tortilla chips evenly across a baking sheet or oven-safe skillet in a single layer.
  4. Sprinkle half the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the chips.
  5. Distribute half of the chicken mixture over the cheese layer.
  6. Scatter black beans and some jalapeños gently over the chicken.
  7. Repeat layers with remaining chips, cheese, chicken, black beans, and jalapeños.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly, watching carefully after 10 minutes to avoid burning.
  9. Remove from oven and immediately top with diced tomatoes, chopped green onions, cilantro, avocado slices or guacamole, and dollops of sour cream.
  10. Serve warm immediately for best texture and flavor.

Notes

Use sturdy tortilla chips to prevent sogginess. Toss chicken with BBQ sauce just before assembling to keep chips crispy. Watch oven closely to avoid burning cheese. Warm toppings slightly before layering for better melding of flavors. For gluten-free, verify chips and BBQ sauce labels. Can broil for 2-3 minutes instead of baking for a bubbly top.
