Ingredients
  

2 cups tortilla chips

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great)

1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed

1 cup corn (canned or frozen)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

1 medium jalapeño, sliced (optional for extra heat)

1/2 cup diced tomatoes (fresh or canned)

1/4 cup sliced green onions

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1/2 cup sour cream (for serving)

1/2 cup guacamole (for serving)

1 lime, cut into wedges (for serving)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Prepare the Base: On a large baking sheet, spread the tortilla chips evenly, covering the entire surface.

      Layer the Ingredients:

        - Sprinkle half of the shredded cheeses over the tortilla chips.

          - Evenly distribute the shredded chicken over the cheese followed by the black beans and corn.

            - Top with diced tomatoes and jalapeño slices (if using).

              - Finish with the remaining shredded cheeses on top.

                Season: Lightly sprinkle with salt and pepper to enhance the flavors.

                  Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.

                    Garnish: Once baked, remove from the oven and sprinkle with sliced green onions and chopped cilantro.

                      Serve: Serve immediately with a side of sour cream, guacamole, and lime wedges for drizzling or dipping.
