Instructions
For the chicken:
Combine all of the ingredients, reserving one lime for later, in a 5- or 6-quart crock pot.
Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3 1/2 to 4 hours.
Remove the chicken, shred with two forks then stir back into the sauce. (The chicken will soak up most of the sauce.)
Squeeze the remaining lime over the chicken and stir to combine.
Assemble the nachos:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a sheet pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Place a layer of blue and yellow tortilla chips on the pan.
Layer the chicken, beans, shredded cheese, red onion, and tomato.
Bake until heated through and cheese has melted, about 5-6 minutes.
Top with sour cream, cilantro, avocado and crumbled Cotija cheese to your liking.
