Shredded Chicken Tortilla Pie

Normally, the post Labor Day, back-to-school, back to busy life is my favorite time. And it may look a little different this year. But one thing never changes which is that we need quick and easy dinner ideas for busy folks.

This recipe uses a delicious, store-bought rotisserie chicken and turns it into a filling meal. Just shred the meat, preferably without the skin, combine it with your favorite salsa (mild is the preference in my house), toss in some beans, spices and cheese. Then the whole thing gets layered between tortilla rounds and baked until all the cheesy goodness has melted.

Serve this one-pan dinner with a side salad and maybe a bit of guacamole and sour cream and everyone will be happy. Feeding beef lovers? Check out my beef version here. Vegetarians at the dinner table? No problem. Check out my veggie version here. Enjoy!
