Nachos are the Jenga of appetizers: One wrong move and it's game over. Seriously, you either pick the chip that drags all the toppings with it or get the one bare chip in the whole freaking pile. There has to be a better way that lets you enjoy all that cheesy goodness in every bite. And now there is: our recipe for mini nachos.

Makes 6 servings
Start to Finish: 45 minutes
Ingredients
1 bag tortilla chips
1½ cups shredded chicken
¾ cup cooked black beans
3 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese

1. Preheat your broiler on low. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. On the baking sheet, build a small spiral of 15 chips, stacking them close together in a 3-inch circle. Repeat to make a total of 6 piles.
3. Sprinkle ¼ cup chicken and 2 tablespoons black beans on top of each pile of chips. Top each with ½ cup shredded cheese.
