Method

step 1

Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. First make the green chilli chicken mix. In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken, green chillies, soured cream, cumin, garlic granules, lime juice and a good pinch of salt and pepper.
step 2

In a large ovenproof dish or baking tray, spread out half the tortilla chips. Scatter over half the chicken mixture, half the cheese, some black beans and red onion. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, chicken, cheese and toppings.
step 3

Bake for 20 mins, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling. Sprinkle with fresh coriander and sliced chilli, serve with extra soured cream, guacamole and salsa on the side for dipping.
