Mother’s Day is right around the corner, and what better way to show mom you care than by giving her a break from the kitchen? This year, surprise her with a homemade meal that’s as delicious as it is easy to make. Give mom a big slice of my Chicken Tortilla Pie!
Mom will enjoy this delightful twist on a classic Mexican-inspired dish that combines the savory goodness of seasoned chicken with veggies and cheese layered together for a taste that can’t be beat. And since it’s simple to prepare, even a kitchen novice will have no problem with this easy-to-make recipe!
Made with Gary’s QuickSteak® Chicken, this dish comes together in a flash. In fact, you can have it ready in under 30 minutes from start to finish! And besides being super easy to prepare, it’s also a true crowd-pleaser, making it an excellent option for a family dinner on Mother’s Day.
Simply gather a few ingredients and whip up a scrumptious dish that’s sure to please.
Start by cooking a package of Gary’s QuickSteak Chicken Breast with Rib Meat in a skillet. Gary’s QuickSteak® Chicken is ightly marinated in all-natural flavors and goes from frozen to finished in less than four minutes. Just place the frozen chicken in a pan until you hear the sizzle, then flip it over and watch it separate into tender slices.
From there you add some corn, black beans, tomatoes with chilis and a few spices. Cook for about 5 minutes and then it’s time to start layering the tortilla pie!
Simply place a tortilla in the bottom of your dish then add a third of the meat mixture. Next comes any toppings you love. I like to add black olives and cheese.
Repeat the layers twice and finish with a tortilla and a little more cheese and pop it in the oven to allow the cheese to melt and get bubbly.
All that’s left is to slice and serve.
Why not grab a few ingredients the next time you shop and add this to your Mother’s Day menu?
