Main ingredients

  • 3 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 3 cups BBQ sauce
  • 1 large bag tortilla chips

  • 1/3 cup chopped red onion
  • 1/2 cup mild pickled jalapenos
  • 1/2 cup queso blanco
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro optional

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, mix the cooked shredded chicken with your favorite BBQ sauce until well combined.

Layering

  • On the prepared baking sheet, layer half of the tortilla chips, half of the BBQ chicken, and half of the shredded cheese.
  • Repeat the layers with the remaining chips, BBQ chicken, and shredded cheese.
  • Top with chopped pickled jalapenos and red onion if you like.

Baking

  • Place in the preheated oven for 11-13 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
  • Remove from the oven and drizzle with queso and extra BBQ sauce. Bake for an additional 3-4 minutes.
  • Serve immediately with chopped cilantro and your favorite toppings. Enjoy!

Notes

Best served hot from the oven. Serve on the baking sheet or transfer to a platter for sharing. Offer extra toppings like salsa, guacamole, or sour cream on the side for a personalized touch. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2-3 days. Reheat in the oven for best results.
