Lay the chips on a large sheet pan/cookie sheet sprayed with nonstick spray. Lay them pretty much in a single layer, only slightly overlapping.
32(ish) Tortilla Chips
Arrange the chicken and onion over the chips.
1/2 cup chopped onion
Drizzle the chips and chicken with the white queso. (A little goes a long way. You don't want everything to get soggy.)
1/4 cup White Queso
Sprinkle everything with the shredded cheese
2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
Top with the pico and cilantro. (Add extra toppings here if using.)
1 cup pico de gallo, 1/4 cup fresh chopped cilantro, Optional additional toppings: black beans, mexi-corn, jalapenos, refried beans, olives, or anything you love!
Bake for approximately 10-15 minutes, rotating halfway through. You want the cheese fully melted and the chips starting to turn brown on the edges.
Remove from the oven and top with all your favorites: sour cream, guac, salsa, the works!
