Creating Chicken Nachos is straightforward and fun! Follow these easy steps to enjoy this tasty dish:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Sauté the Onions: In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and sauté until they turn translucent.

3. Add the Chicken: Stir in the shredded chicken and taco seasoning. Cook for about 5 minutes, mixing well.

6. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and golden.

7. Remove and Add Fresh Toppings: Take the nachos out of the oven and let them cool for a minute. Top with diced avocado, sliced jalapeños (if using), salsa, sour cream, and chopped cilantro.

8. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your Chicken Nachos while they’re still warm and gooey!
