Black Bean Chicken Nachos

(Good news is we have BOTH a camera AND a chord now... i'll update the posts with pictures as we make the meals again, bad news... i haven't taken any pictures lately) 
  • 1 bag of tortilla chips
  • 2-3 chicken breasts frozen or thawed sliced/cut into bite size pieces
  • EVOO (extra virgin olive oil... or whatever you like to add to your pan to cook up your chicken)
  • 1 can of black beans
  • taco seasoning
  • shredded Monterey jack cheddar cheese
  • taco/nacho toppings that your family enjoys
  1. pre-heat oven to 375
  2. in a frying pan, add oil and warm for a few minutes.
  3. add chicken to pan and sprinkle with some taco seasoning and cook till done
  4. while chicken is cooking, line a big cookie sheet with foil and place a good layer of taco chips
  5. in a bowl, mix cheese with more taco seasoning and sprinkle on top of chips... good and thick!
  6. drain and rinse beans really well (once there are no bubbles when rinsed with water, all those fun gas bubbles will be no problem:)
  7. sprinkle beans over cheese
  8. once chicken is done, layer over the beans and add a little more cheese
  9. put in the oven until cheese is melted... about 5-10 minutes.
  10. to serve, put pan in middle of the table (careful for little fingers... it's still hot!) with choice of toppings and let everyone dish up on their plates! mmmm. soo good fresh out of the oven, AND easy clean up, just wrap up with the foil, and then pretty tasty as leftovers too! just unwrap and place back in the oven. :)
REVIEW
This is ALWAYS a big hit in our family, poor brad hadn't ever had them fresh out the oven till this last time, and despite that he still always enjoys them :)
