Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Slice the chicken breast into thin strips.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, combine chicken strips with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and fajita seasoning. Mix until the chicken is well coated.

Step 4

Heat the remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the seasoned chicken strips and cook for 5-7 minutes until fully cooked and browned, then remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

Slice the red, yellow, and green bell peppers into thin strips along with the red onion.

Step 7

In the same skillet used for the chicken, add the sliced vegetables and sauté for 4-5 minutes until they are tender but still slightly crisp. Stir occasionally.

Step 8

Add the black beans to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes until warmed through.

Step 9

On a large baking sheet, spread out the tortilla chips evenly.

Step 10

Layer the cooked chicken, sautéed vegetables, and black beans over the tortilla chips.

Step 11

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly across the top.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 13

While the nachos are baking, prepare the toppings by dicing the avocado, chopping the cilantro, and cutting the lime into wedges.

Step 14

Once the nachos are done baking, remove them from the oven, and let them cool slightly.

Step 15

Top the nachos with dollops of sour cream, diced avocado, and chopped cilantro.

Step 16

Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the nachos.
