Chicken Nachos

So this is not exactly very healthy but, it's a great meal for game night or even just an appetizer. Serves 2-3 as a meal or 4-5 as an appetizer.  This is the way I make them so add or subtract anything you want!


1/2 bag good tortilla chips
grated cheese of your choice, I use a mexican blend
1/2 can black beans
pico de gallo, recipe follows
1-2 boneless, skinless cooked chicken breasts, shredded
chopped cilantro
1 ripe avocado
green or red salsa, for dipping
sour cream, for dipping

Lay out tortilla chips on baking sheet covered with foil.  Warm the oven on the broil setting. Sprinkle the chips with about half of the cheese, then add beans, pico, & chicken. Follow with the other half of the cheese. Broil in oven until cheese is melted and chips are slightly golden.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with cilantro and avocado.
Serve with salsa and sour cream. Enjoy!

Pico de gallo
1 ripe medium sized tomato, diced
1/2 small onion, diced
1/4 to 1/2 jalepano, diced small
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
juice of 1/2 lime

Combine all ingredients and set aside for 10-15 minutes to let flavors meld.
