Ingredients

  • 6 tortillas, sliced
  • Drizzle olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp cumin powder
  • 1 tsp coriander powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 500g cooked chicken, thinly sliced
  • 400g chunky tomato salsa

  • 1 spring onion, thinly sliced
  • 125 g sour cream
  • ¼ cup jalapenos

Method

  1. Preheat oven to fan bake, 180 – if you have an air fryer you could use it instead and fry in batches.
  2. Line a baking tray with paper, drizzle with oil and sprinkle with spices, salt and pepper.  Drop the tortillas onto the tray and toss in the flavoured oil.  Spread out in one layer and bake for 10 – 15 minutes, until golden and crispy. Remove and set aside until ready to assemble.
  3. In a bowl, mix together the chicken and tomato salsa, season with a little salt and pepper.
  4. In a large baking dish, add a layer of the crispy tortilla chips, then spoon over the chicken and salsa mixture.  Sprinkle with cheese and spring onion.
  5. Pop back into the oven for 10 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
  6. Remove from the oven, drizzle over the sour cream and spot with jalapenos.
