Chicken Nachos

In these chicken nachos, crunchy chips are topped with hot spiced shredded chicken, beans and melted cheese plus cooling chunks of avocado, red onion and cilantro. If you like the heat, add jalapeño slices at the end. These quick nachos work well with shredded chicken breast or rotisserie chicken if you have leftovers around.
