Place 1.5 cups of shredded chicken in a bowl.

Mix the chicken and spices together quickly and set aside.

Spread half of the 200 grams of tortilla chips in an oven-proof dish.

Top the chips with half of the chicken mixture.

Add a layer of 1 cup of shredded cheese on top of the chicken.

Continue layering with the rest of the chips, then the remaining chicken, followed by 1 cup of drained canned beans.

Top with another cup of shredded cheese.

Bake in the oven at 180 degrees Celsius for around 10 minutes until the cheese melts and the chips are crispy.

Transfer the nachos to another dish and top with chopped tomatoes, sliced jalapenos, sliced olives, and garnish with chopped coriander and dollops of sour cream.
