Directions

❄️ Thaw your airline chicken in a sealed plastic bag and submerge it in cold water, changing it every 30 minutes. Easy-peasy method!
Season the chicken with your favorite spices (like chili powder, cumin, and paprika) and grill until fully cooked.
🍗Shred the chicken once it's cool enough to handle.
Preheat the Grill: If you’re using a charcoal grill, prepare a medium-hot fire. For a gas grill, set it to medium-high heat.
Assemble the nachos on a large grill-safe baking sheet or a grill pan. Spread a layer of tortilla chips.Top with shredded chicken, black beans, corn, red onion, black olives, and half of the cheese.
Grill the baking sheet or pan. Close the lid and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning!
Remove the nachos from the grill. And top with remaining cheese, fresh cilantro, diced avocado.
🥄Drizzle with sour cream and salsa. Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
