Ingredients
  

4 whole mini bagels (plain or everything-flavored)

1 cup cooked and shredded chicken breast

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)

1/2 cup salsa (mild, medium, or hot, depending on your preference)

1/4 cup sliced jalapeños (pickled or fresh)

1/4 cup black olives, sliced

1/4 cup diced red onion

1 teaspoon taco seasoning

Chopped fresh cilantro (for garnish)

Sour cream or Greek yogurt (for dipping)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Prepare the Bagels: Slice each mini bagel in half horizontally. Place the bagel halves cut-side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

      Mix the Chicken Topping: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, taco seasoning, half of the salsa, diced red onion, sliced jalapeños, and black olives. Stir until well mixed.

        Assemble the Nacho Bagel Bites: Spoon the chicken mixture evenly over each bagel half. Top each with a generous handful of shredded cheese.

          Bake Until Golden: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the bagels are slightly toasted.

            Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove the bagel bites from the oven and let them cool for a minute. Drizzle the remaining salsa over the top and sprinkle with chopped cilantro for a fresh touch.

              Enjoy: Serve warm with a side of sour cream or Greek yogurt for dipping!
