Preheat the oven broiler to high.

In a medium skillet, combine the shredded cooked chicken, fajita seasoning packet, and water.

While the chicken simmers, arrange the tortilla chips in a single layer on a large shallow ovenproof platter or baking sheet.
-
Spoon the seasoned chicken mixture evenly over the tortilla chips.
-
Sprinkle the grated cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses over the chicken and chips.

Place the platter under the preheated broiler and cook until the cheese is melted and bubbly, watching closely to prevent burning.
