Ingredients
- 1 bag sturdy, triangular tortilla chips 11-13 ounces
- ¾ cup mild cheddar cheese shredded and divided

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Place the oven rack on the top position in the oven. Line a half-sheet baking pan with parchment paper or spray it with cooking spray.
- Spread half of the tortilla chips evenly over the baking sheet and top them with 1/4 cup of each of the shredded cheeses.
- Sprinkle on 3/4 cup of shredded chicken and then top with the remaining tortilla chips.
- Top the chips with another 1/4 cup of each of the cheeses.
- Sprinkle on the remaining chicken and then top with the last of the cheese.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and just beginning to brown in some spots.
- Remove the pan from the oven and immediately sprinkle on the chopped cilantro. Allow the nachos to cool for at least 3-5 minutes.
- Place dollops of sour cream and guacamole on top of the nachos and sprinkle the salsa all over the top.
- If desired, serve with your choice of additional toppings.
Notes
- Store any leftover nachos in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat them in the oven for best results, as the microwave may make the chips soggy.
- For the best results, reheat nachos in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes, or until they are heated through and the cheese is melty.
