Ingredients
Scale:
1 pound ground chicken, preferably organic for enhanced flavor and quality.
1 tablespoon olive oil, extra virgin is recommended for its rich taste.
1 teaspoon garlic powder.
1 teaspoon onion powder.
1 teaspoon chili powder.
1 teaspoon cumin.
Salt and pepper to taste.
8 ounces tortilla chips.
2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend).
1 cup diced tomatoes.
1/2 cup sliced jalapeños.
1/2 cup sliced black olives.
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro.
1/2 cup sour cream.
1/2 cup guacamole.
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the ground chicken to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink.
Season the cooked chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well and cook for another 2 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Layer the tortilla chips evenly across the skillet over the chicken mixture.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese generously over the top of the chips.
Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and add your desired toppings like diced tomatoes, jalapeños, black olives, and cilantro.
Serve immediately with sides of sour cream and guacamole.
