Chicken Tortilla Stack

First full week of school is in the books....and we made it.  High School has been a success for Matt and Jakey has gotten back into the "school groove" without too much difficulty. 

We have had a week of beautiful sunshine and record breaking temps.....I know that the rain is coming soon...but I so enjoyed these last few day.  Wednesday was the warmest....hitting nearly 90 degrees.  We enjoyed happy hour in the garden with neighbors and before I knew it Jacob was asking what was for dinner!  Lucky for me I did have a plan....and lucky for me it came together quick and was very yummy.

Long ago I was a Pampered Chef consultant and one of the recipes that everyone wanted was the Tortilla Stack.  This is my little twist on that.....just as easy and delish!

My boys love to make nachos....everyone gets to create their own little masterpiece....well these are very similar.  I found these cute little tostada shells at Safeway that worked great....each stack used 3 shells filled with yummy chicken and cheese between the layers.  And then topped with all our favorite toppings.

Chicken Tortilla Stack

12 corn tostada shells

2 cups of cooked chicken, diced or shredded

shredded Mexican blend cheese

6 oz sour cream

taco sauce

favorite taco toppings...

tomato

green onions

avocado

shredded lettuce

 

1.  Mix sour cream and taco sauce together....the taco sauce is by taste.

 

2.  Spread some of the sour cream mixture onto a tostada shell.  Place the shell into a baking dish. 

 

3.  Sprinkle chicken and then cheese on top of the shell.   Then repeat the layer with another shell.  Place the 3rd shell on the top.  Gently pressing down.....then sprinkle a final layer of cheese on the top.

 

4.  Repeat to make 3 more stacks.  A 9x13 baking dish will hold 2 stacks....so 2 baking dish will be needed.

 

5.  Cover baking dish loosely with foil.  Bake at 325 degrees for 12-15 min.

 

6  Remove foil and bake another 6-8 minutes.

 

7.  Remove from oven.  After plating slice each stack into 4 slices....a pizza cutter works great for this.

 

8.  Add your favorite toppings and enjoy!
