Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil; coat with cooking spray.

Combine chicken, barbeque sauce, lime juice, cumin, and chili powder in a saucepan over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until chicken is heated through, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 3

Spread a single layer of tortilla chips on the prepared baking sheet. Top with 1/2 the chicken mixture and 1 1/4 cups Cheddar cheese. Place another layer of tortilla chips over cheese and top with remaining chicken mixture and cheese.
