Homemade chicken nachos made with chicken breast, salsa and cheese. My kids love this recipe for dinner and I love it because it only takes 20 minutes!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a large baking sheet by covering with foil and spraying with nonstick spray. Arrange tortilla chips on baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside. By baking the chips first, we are preventing them from becoming soggy - dont skip this step!
In a large skillet, heat olive oil on medium heat. Add garlic and cook until browned, about 30 seconds. Add in shredded chicken, corn, salsa and taco seasoning. Stir to fully mix all the ingredients together.
Add refried beans into a bowl and heat up in the microwave. Add spoonfuls of beans all over the tortilla chips.
Add chicken mixture on top of the refried beans, spreading around to cover the chips. Sprinkle cheese on top, and then add the chopped tomatoes.
Bake in the oven until the cheese melts, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from the oven and enjoy!

Notes
Note: This is really a starter recipe as you can swap out the ingredients to what your family likes! You can easily use rotisserie chicken, or ground beef/turkey/chicken instead of shredded chicken breast. You can add black beans, pickled jalapenos, olives, green onions, lettuce, avocado or sour cream on top - just do YOU!
