Grill the chicken on medium-high for about 6 to 8 minutes a side or until fully cooked. Remove and let cool a bit. Sprinkle the chicken with a handful of fresh cilantro before chopping it into small bits. Nachos: Scatter a layer of whole grain tortilla chips on the bottom of 4 oven-safe baking dishes. Top the chips with a little grated cheddar cheese, chopped chicken, a spoonful of grilled corn salsa, black beans and then repeat with another layer of chips, cheese, chicken, salsa, beans and a final layer of cheddar cheese. Bake in a preheated 375°F until the cheese is melted and the chips are a toasty golden color. Remove and let cool before topping and enjoying!
