Ingredients:
- 10 oz tortilla chips (about 3/4 of a 13.5 oz bag flat chips work best, similar to tostitos crispy rounds.)

- nonstick cooking spray

Directions:
- Hand shred chicken into a saucepan, making each piece small enough to fit on a tortilla chip.

- Remove chicken from heat.
- Use a spoon to distribute chicken evenly over tortilla chips/cheese layer, making sure that some chicken is on each chip.
- If desired, drizzle any remaining taco seasoning sauce evenly over chips and chicken.
