Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Pour a thin layer of enchilada sauce across the bottom of a large skillet. Spread the refried beans on top and add a little salt and pepper if desired. Then sprinkle on a little bit of cheese. I like to use a mix of freshly grated mozzarella and fontina.
- Next, layer on tortilla chips with another layer of cheese (about 3/4 cup). Repeat, so that you have 3 layers of chips. Top the final layer of chips with the remaining cheese. Drizzle 2 to 3 Tablespoons of the enchilada sauce on top. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is nice and bubbly hot.
- Top with your favorite toppings, just before serving. My favorites are guacamole and pico de gallo. Serve immediately.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh chicken, flavorful cheese, and crisp vegetables will make a big difference.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet. If you try to cook too much chicken or vegetables at once, they will not cook evenly.
- Cook the chicken until it is cooked through but not dry. Overcooked chicken will be tough and chewy.
- Let the nachos cool slightly before serving. This will help to prevent them from becoming soggy.
- Serve the nachos with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include guacamole, salsa, sour cream, and jalapeños.
Conclusion:
Skillet chicken nachos are a quick and easy meal that is perfect for a party or a weeknight dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and satisfying dish that everyone will enjoy.
