Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken with diced Hatch green chilies, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well to incorporate all flavors.

      Layer the Nachos: On a large baking sheet or oven-safe platter, spread out the tortilla chips evenly, ensuring they slightly overlap.

          Add the Beans: Sprinkle the black beans over the chicken layer.

            Cheese It Up: Generously layer the sharp cheddar and pepper jack cheeses on top of the nachos, covering all the ingredients to ensure maximum melty goodness.

              Bake: Place the nachos in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.

                Add Toppings: Once out of the oven, garnish your nachos with fresh cilantro, sour cream drizzled on top, and pickled jalapeños if you like an extra kick.

                  Serve: Serve hot and enjoy the fusion of flavors in these irresistible Hatch Chili Chicken Nachos!
