Sheet Pan Chicken Nachos

These sheet pan nachos are one of Eli’s favorite foods, so I love making them to surprise him for an easy dinner at home. Crispy tortilla chips layered with juicy chicken, melty cheese, creamy white queso, black beans, and all the fresh toppings. They feel fun and cozy but take barely any effort to throw together.

Ingredients

  • 1 bag blue tortilla chips

  • 1 bag white tortilla chips

  • 1 chicken breast

  • 1 ½ to 2 cups Mexican blend shredded cheese

  • About 1 cup white queso, plus more for topping

  • Half a can black beans, drained and rinsed

  • 1 cup pico de gallo

  • About ½ cup guacamole

  • Handful of cherry tomatoes, sliced

  • 1 avocado, sliced

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.

  2. Spread a mix of the blue and white tortilla chips onto a large sheet pan.

  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper, then cook until golden and fully cooked through. Slice or chop into bite sized pieces.

  4. Top the chips with the cooked chicken, shredded Mexican cheese, black beans, and about 1 cup of white queso.

  5. Bake for about 8 to 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and everything is hot and bubbly.

  6. Remove from the oven and top with more white queso, pico de gallo, guacamole, sliced avocado, and cherry tomatoes.

  7. Serve immediately while the chips are still warm and crispy.
