Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees celsius or 350 degrees fahrenheit. Drain the kidney beans and rinse them under running cold water. Rinse and chop the green onions into not to thin rings and set aside.

Season the pulled chicken with about 150 ml barbecue sauce. Divide the tortilla chips over the oven dish and add a large handful of grated mozzarella cheese. Then add beans and pulled chicken.
