Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, combine cooked shredded chicken with BBQ sauce.
On a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spread half of your tortilla chips.

Sprinkle pickled jalapenos and chopped red onions over the layered nachos.
Bake for 11-13 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and drizzle queso blanco and BBQ sauce on top. Bake for an additional 3-4 minutes.
Serve immediately, garnishing with chopped cilantro.
