Ingredients
  

2 cups shredded cooked chicken (preferably BBQ-flavored)

1 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand)

1 bag tortilla chips (about 12-16 ounces)

1 ½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup corn (canned or frozen)

1 jalapeño, sliced (optional for heat)

½ cup sour cream

½ cup guacamole

¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

Prep the Chicken: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken with ½ cup of BBQ sauce. Mix well until the chicken is fully coated. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as necessary.

    Prepare the Base: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the tortilla chips evenly on a large, rimmed baking sheet or a large oven-safe platter.

      Layer the Ingredients: Evenly distribute the BBQ chicken mixture over the chips. Follow with black beans and corn, then sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese across the entire platter.

        Bake: Place the nachos in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

          Add Fresh Toppings: Once removed from the oven, add sliced jalapeños (if using) on top for an extra kick. Drizzle the remaining BBQ sauce over the nachos, and then dollop the sour cream and guacamole in separate areas to garnish.

            Garnish: Finish off with a sprinkle of chopped fresh cilantro and an extra dusting of smoked paprika for added flavor.

              Serve: Serve immediately while warm and melty, ideally with extra BBQ sauce on the side for dipping!
