Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie or grilled)

1 cup BBQ sauce (sweet or spicy, your choice)

1 bag (12 oz) tortilla chips

1 cup corn kernels (frozen, canned, or fresh)

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained

1 jalapeño, sliced (optional for extra spice)

1/2 cup red onion, finely diced

1/2 cup diced tomatoes

1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1/4 cup sour cream (for drizzling)

1 avocado, diced (for topping)

Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the BBQ Chicken: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken with your chosen BBQ sauce. Stir until the chicken pieces are thoroughly coated in the sauce, ensuring each piece is well-covered for full flavor.

    Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to preheat at 375°F (190°C), allowing it to reach the right temperature while you prepare the nachos.

      Layer the Nachos: On a large baking sheet or an oven-safe platter, begin to layer your nachos. Spread half of the tortilla chips across the base evenly. Next, add half of the BBQ chicken mixture, followed by half of the corn kernels, black beans, diced tomatoes, and red onion. To finish this layer, sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese on top.

        Build Additional Layers: Repeat the layering process with the second half of the ingredients. Start with the remaining tortilla chips, then add the remaining BBQ chicken, corn, beans, tomatoes, red onion, and lastly the remaining cheddar cheese. If you enjoy heat, now's the time to sprinkle the sliced jalapeños over the top.

          Bake the Nachos: Place the prepared nachos into your preheated oven. Bake for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and is bubbling deliciously.

            Garnish for Flavor: Once out of the oven, generously sprinkle the nachos with freshly chopped cilantro and add the diced avocado on top. For an extra touch, drizzle with sour cream to enhance the creaminess.

              Serve and Enjoy: Immediately serve your BBQ Chicken & Corn Nachos with lime wedges on the side, perfect for squeezing over the melty goodness. Gather your friends and enjoy this crowd-pleasing snack!
