Ingredients

1 French baguette, sliced into 1-inch thick pieces

2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie chicken works wonderfully)

1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)

1 cup diced tomatoes (fresh or canned)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup diced red onion

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

1 avocado, diced

1 jalapeño, sliced (optional, for added heat)

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

Sour cream and salsa, for serving

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for toasting the baguette.

Prepare the Baguette: Place the sliced pieces of baguette on a large baking sheet. Lightly brush each slice with olive oil, then sprinkle a pinch of salt over them. Bake in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes or until the slices are golden and slightly toasted. Once done, remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.

Make the Chicken Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, diced red onion, cumin, chili powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed and evenly coated in the spices.

Assemble the Stacks: Take each toasted baguette slice and spoon a generous portion of the chicken mixture onto it. Be sure not to skimp on the filling! After that, sprinkle a good amount of shredded cheddar cheese over each stack.

Melt the Cheese: Return the baking sheet with your assembled stacks to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is perfectly melted and bubbly, offering a delicious golden finish.

Garnish: Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Top each stack with fresh diced avocado, a sprinkle of chopped cilantro, and jalapeño slices, if you prefer a kick of heat.

Serve: Elevate your Mini Chicken Nacho Toast Stacks by serving them alongside small bowls of sour cream and salsa for dipping pleasure. Enjoy the fiesta flavors!
