In a bowl, combine chicken, cheese and 1 tbsp of the rub; mix gently. Sprinkle chicken mixture evenly over tortilla chips. Bake 5-7 minutes or until cheese is melted; remove from oven to a cooling rack.

Cut lime in half crosswise. Juice half of the lime; add bell pepper and remaining rub and mix well.

Slice remaining lime half. Spoon bell pepper mixture over nachos; sprinkle evenly with cilantro. If desired, combine sour cream and additional rub in resealable plastic bag; trim corner to allow sour cream to flow through. Top sour cream mixture over nachos.
