I place all the ingredients in individual bowls and let everyone top their nachos themselves. I set out the shredded nacho chicken, tortilla chips, chopped green onions, chopped cilantro, black beans, shredded cheddar cheese, and sour cream. If you would like it spicier, use a medium or hot salsa. This chicken is versatile and can be used in other dishes, too. I have used it on salads and rice and in tacos and burritos.

We love the cooking method and ease of an electric pressure cooker. It makes the chicken juicy and tender. The chicken really absorbs all the flavor of the salsas and taco seasoning. Add your favorite toppings and you have delicious chicken nachos.
