Ingredients

Chicken Nachos

1 tbsp butter
2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
1 package (1.12 oz) fajita seasoning
1/2 tsp ground cumin
3 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend, divided
1 can (15.25 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can (2.25 oz) sliced black olives, more if desired
1 medium sized jalapeno, seeded and deveined, minced
2 tomatoes, diced
2 green onion, sliced (white and green parts)
1 large bag tortilla chips, thicker the chip the better

Creamy Lime Drizzle

1 cup sour cream
handful of fresh cilantro
2 tsps fresh lime juice
pinch of salt

Instructions

In a large skillet, on medium heat, melt butter, add shredded chicken, fajita seasoning and cumin. Mix together until chicken is heated though.
Place tortilla chips on a large rimmed sheet pan and place in the oven while oven is pre-heating to 350 degrees. (This will help crisp up the chips.) Once the oven has reached temperature, remove the sheet pan and sprinkle 1 cup of the cheese on the chips. (Cheese will melt slightly.)
Spread chicken evenly on top of chips; add black beans, olives, jalapeños and remaining cheese.
Bake for 10-15 minutes.
While nachos are baking, make up the creamy cilantro lime drizzle.
Blend sour cream, cilantro, lime juice and salt in a blender, until well combined and smooth. Set aside.
Remove nachos from oven and sprinkle tomato and green onions. Drizzle the creamy cilantro lime sauce all over the baked nachos. Serve immediately and enjoy!
