Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. While you're waiting, line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl mix shredded chicken and your favorite BBQ sauce until well coated and set aside. Leave some BBQ for drizzling later.
3 cups Shredded chicken, 1 cup Barbecue sauce
On your prepared baking sheet layer half of the tortilla chips, half of the BBQ shredded chicken, and half of the shredded Monterey jack cheese. Repeat in the same order for the second half.
1 bag Tortilla chips, 2 cups Monterey Jack cheese
Bake for 10-13 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
Remove from the oven and drizzle with queso, extra BBQ sauce, red onion, jalapenos, and cilantro. Garnish with fresh lime wedges and enjoy!
½ cup Queso blanco, ¼ cup Red onion, ¼ cup Cilantro, 1 Jalapeno, Lime wedges

- When it comes to nachos, the quality of each ingredient is key. Make sure to use sturdy chips!

- Don't bother with pre-shredded cheese. Instead, buy block cheese and shred it yourself. It will melt much better and have a richer flavor.

- You can use pre-made shredded chicken, make some for the recipe, or use shredded rotisserie chicken.

- Don't squeeze the lime juice on the nachos; just leave wedges! This lets you add your own juice as you're eating, which keeps the chips from getting all soggy.
