  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 bag (10 ounces) tortilla chips

Instructions

  5. Distribute the sauced chicken mixture over the cheese layer.
  6. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  • For a richer flavor, use rotisserie chicken instead of cooking your own.
  • If you prefer extra crunch, lightly toast the chips before adding toppings.
