Chicken Enchilada Stack
Today I have a yummy, kid-friendly, one-dish dinner for you, Chicken Enchilada Stack. I know this week most of us are probably thinking ahead to Christmas dinner but for those busy nights leading up to it this meal is perfect. The longest part is popping it in the oven.
Chicken enchiladas are a favorite of mine but I don’t make them all that often. I’d much rather enjoy them in a restaurant.
This is a nice twist on enchiladas and all the ingredients are kid-friendly so it’s a hit all around.

How to make Chicken Enchilada Stack
Chop the chicken breast, and sprinkle with onion powder, then cook on medium heat. You can also use diced onions but my little dude hates onions so much he gets sick so I just use onion powder a lot to have the flavor. Next add the taco seasoning and a little water.
Now you’re ready to assemble. First, put on a tortilla on a baking sheet… layer chicken and shredded cheese… then another tortilla…spread refried beans on top of the tortilla…add some black beans…a little bit of frozen corn…drizzle some salsa con queso…add some more shredded cheese…
repeat both layers again…top with the last tortilla, some salsa con queso and the rest of the shredded cheese….
Bake at 350 for about 15 minutes…or until the cheese is melting and the edges are browning.
Then slice it into wedges and serve. Sour cream or salsa make great additions.
