How to Make Ultimate Crispy BBQ Chicken Nachos

  • Once baked, let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Then, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
  • Combine the shredded chicken with your favorite BBQ sauce in a bowl. Toss well until coated.
  • Spread the tortilla chips evenly on a large baking tray.
  • Layer the BBQ chicken over the chips, then add the shredded cheese, black beans, jalapeños, and green onions.

  • Serve with a dollop of sour cream for an extra creamy finish.
