I don't really have a specific recipe. I usually just take a recipe off the internet, and then add what I want. Like this one for example:

The basics are chicken broth, tomato paste, onion, garlic, beans and/or corn, cumin/oregano, paprika, chili powder , garlic (or just Mexican seasoning packets), olive oil, tomato, cilantro, lime, avocado, chicken chunks.
You can add jalapeno peppers or green onions if you want. I like to add cheese. That Mexican string cheese is the best, but any cheese (even Velveeta) will do in a pinch. Then add a dollop of crème fraicshe (or sour cream in a pinch). And of course, crushed tortilla chips.
A lot of the ingredients are optional or can be substituted. You don't need avocado, corn, beans and peppers; but should probably have one or two of them. Quite often I skip cilantro because I usually don't have it on hand. It's pretty versatile which is why it's a fall back for me.
My wife will sometimes turn the chips into chilaquiles, but I personally never made them.
