Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place chicken in medium saucepan and add chili powder, diced onion, 1 cup water, and 1/2 tablespoon lime juice; cover and heat on high until liquid is gone.

Just as chicken begins to brown in the hot, dry pan, remove from heat, transfer to a cutting board, and cut or shred into small pieces. Return chicken to hot pan and carefully add 1/2 cup water. Turn chicken so its well covered and turns a reddish-brown color. Add remaining water and remove from heat. Set aside.

Cover the bottom of a large baking sheet with a layer of chips. Sprinkle some lime juice lightly over chips and then sprinkle with a layer of the combined cheeses. Add one-third of the onion and spoon beans on top. Add olives, reserving a few for the last layer.

Add another layer of chips, a sprinkle of lime juice, cheeses, onion, and top with chicken. Add remaining chips, cheeses, and onion. Scatter jalapeno and olive slices over top and bake 5 to 6 minutes or until cheese melts throughout and bubbles on top.

Remove excess grease off top before serving with crackers.
