Total Time 7 minutes
Servings 4 servings

Equipment

  • Medium Bowl
  • microwave-safe plate

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken use store-bought rotisserie chicken to save time
  • 1/2 cup red enchilada sauce
  • about 8 ounces corn tortilla chips
  • 1/2 cup cooked black beans
  • 1/2 cup bell peppers diced small (I used red and yellow)
  • 1/2 cup corn frozen, thaw before using
  • 2 cups Mexican shredded cheese blend
  • 1/4 cup pico de gallo
  • 1 teaspoon fresh cilantro finely minced
  • optional toppings guacamole, sour cream, or other favorite Mexican-inspired fixings

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups shredded cooked chicken with 1/2 cup red enchilada sauce and stir until the chicken is evenly coated; set aside.
  • Spread the tortilla chips in a single layer on a large microwave-safe plate, avoiding heavy overlap so toppings reach most chips.
  • Evenly distribute the sauced chicken, 1/2 cup cooked black beans, 1/2 cup diced bell peppers, 1/2 cup thawed corn, and 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese over the chips.
  • Microwave on high about 2 minutes, checking every 30 seconds, until the cheese is melted and toppings are hot.
  • Top with 1/4 cup pico de gallo, 1 teaspoon minced cilantro, and any optional toppings; serve immediately while warm.

Notes

  • To bake instead, heat at 375°F for 5–10 minutes or until cheese melts.
