Chicken Nachos for People Who Think They Can’t Cook

These easy chicken nachos start with crispy tortilla chips, shredded rotisserie chicken, black beans, onion, and plenty of melted cheese — finished with fresh toppings like tomatoes, scallions, olives, and sour cream.

They’re made for anyone who says “I can’t cook,” but still wants something warm, cheesy, and satisfying. With simple ingredients and smart shortcuts, these nachos are perfect for weeknights, game day, or casual entertaining.

If you can shred chicken and open a bag of chips, you’ve got this. No stress, no fancy steps — just easy chicken nachos that work every time.

=== 🍽🍸🥩 RECIPE ===
1 rotisserie chicken, shredded
1 tablespoon taco seasoning
1 large bag of tortilla chips
8 ounces (226g) shredded cheese
1 15-ounce (425g) canned black beans, drained
1 small onion, diced

Topping ideas:
Chopped scallions
Chopped Cilantro or Parsley
Diced Roma tomatoes
Black olives
Sour Cream

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken and taco seasoning. Mix well.

Add 1/3 of the tortilla chips to an oven-safe skillet. Top with 1/3 of the chicken, 1/3 black beans, 1/3 tomatoes, 1/3 of the onions, and 1/3 cheese. Repeat two more times.

Bake for 7-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Top with your favorite toppings, and serve immediately.
