Description
Crispy tortilla chips layered with smoky grilled chicken, gooey cheese, tangy BBQ sauce, and fresh toppings create a bold, texturally rich dish. Perfect for casual meals or gatherings.
Ingredients
10 cups tortilla chips (white or multigrain)
2 cups shredded grilled chicken breast or halal meat alternative
1 cup non-alcoholic barbecue sauce
1.5 cups grated cheddar cheese or cheese blend
2 tbsp sliced jalapeños (with or without seeds)
1/2 cup sour cream or vegan alternative
4 tbsp chopped green onions or cilantro
1 tbsp cooking oil
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper
Spread tortilla chips in even layers on sheets, slightly overlapping
Drizzle chips with 1 tbsp oil and bake 10-12 minutes until golden and crispy
Sprinkle 1 cup cheddar cheese evenly over warm chips
Spoon barbecue sauce in liberal portions, leaving space for meat
Top with shredded chicken or halal meat, then scatter remaining cheese over meat
Bake 8-10 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly
Remove from oven and top with jalapeños, sour cream drizzles, and green onions
Notes
Use gluten-free chips if needed
Pre-shred cheese to prevent clumping
Seed jalapeños for milder flavor
Batch cooking on two sheets ensures even baking
Let cheese rest 5 minutes before serving to firm slightly
