Ingredients
Scale
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
1 cup butternut squash, roasted and diced
1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
2 cups tortilla chips
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 avocado, diced
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup red onion, diced
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 jalapeño, sliced (optional)
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup salsa
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly.
Roast the Squash: Toss diced squash with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast in the oven for about 20-25 minutes or until tender.
On a large baking sheet or oven-safe dish, spread a layer of tortilla chips evenly.
Top the chips with the seasoned chicken, roasted butternut squash, black beans, and half of the shredded cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the nachos from the oven and add diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and jalapeño slices on top.
Sprinkle the remaining cheese and fresh cilantro over the nachos.
Drizzle sour cream and salsa over the top or serve them on the side for dipping.
