Ingredients
- 1 T canola oil
- 1 onion, minced
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon minced canned chipotle chile in adobo sauce (optional, but I highly recommend it.)
- 1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes
- 3 cups shredded cooked chicken breast
- 1 (15 oz) can pinto, kidney or black beans
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro
- 1 T lime juice
- 5 cups roughly broken tortilla chips
Directions
-
Position an oven rack 6 inches from the broiler element and heat the broiler
-
Heat the oil in a 12 inch ovenproof skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic, chili powder, cumin, and chipotle and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the broth and tomatoes with their juice, scraping up an browned bits, and bring to a simmer.
-
Stir in the chicken and beans and cook until heated through, 3-4 minutes. Off the heat, stir in 1/2 cup of the cheddar, 3 T of the cilantro and lime juice. Stir in the tortilla chips and toss until all pieces are moistened (the skillet will be quite full but will shrink down as the chips soften.)
-
Sprinkle with the remaining cup cheddar and broil until the cheese is melted and lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes, sprinkle with the remaining T cilantro and season with salt and pepper to taste.
