Step-by-step

• Heat the oven to 425 degrees.
• In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and then add in the ground chicken, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon as it browns.
• Once the chicken is browned, add the cumin, garlic powder and salt to the chicken and stir.
• Add the green chilies, Ro*Tel and the black beans to the pan and stir.
• Simmer for 5 minutes to cook out some of the juices in the pan and then remove from the heat.
• Measure out a heaping tablespoon of the shredded cheese and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment.
• Space each pile out so you only have 6 on the sheet at a time because they will spread as they cook.
• Place in the oven for 6-7 minutes.
• Let the cheese sit for a minute after you take it out of the oven and then with a thin metal spatula, carefully take it off the pan and lay it over a rolling pin to harden.
• If you want a flat crisp then just place the crisps on a wire baking rack to harden.
• Repeat with the rest of the cheese, you should get about 24 crisps.
• Fill each crisp with the chicken topping and a scoop of guacamole.
