Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
• 1 (7 ounce) can diced green chilies, drained
• 1 (8 ounce) package shredded Mexican-style cheese blend
• 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - chopped
• 1 (12 ounce) package corn tortilla chips, or as needed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, stir together the chicken, vegetable oil, and cayenne pepper. Let stand for 15 minutes, or longer if desired.

Step 2

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken mixture, and fry until chicken is no longer pink. Remove from heat, and set aside.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Spread a thin layer of tortilla chips in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle 1/4 of the chicken, 1/4 of the chilies, and 1/4 of the cheese over the chips. Repeat layers ending with cheese on the top.

Step 4

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until the cheese is melted and everything is heated through. Serve with your favorite nacho toppings.
