I’m super excited to bring y’all this recipe today!  This Santa Fe Chicken Enchilada Stack is a perfect weeknight dinner recipe.  And I totally cheat with this one sometimes by using a store-bought rotisserie chicken!  It’s not required, but perfect for busy school nights.

I love that you just stack everything instead of rolling.  This makes it quick to prepare!  And since the chicken is cooked already, you don’t spend a lot of time making the filling.

Tips for making this Santa Fe Chicken Enchilada Stack:

  • Use leftover cooked shredded chicken.  You can use a rotisserie chicken or cook your chicken in an Instant Pot or a slow cooker for easy preparation.
  • Not a fan of beans?  Leave ’em out!  But I’m totally a fan!
  • Use a can of Rotel instead of salsa, if needed.  Drain off the juice first.
  • Use whole wheat tortillas and low-fat cream cheese to make the recipe a little healthier.
  • Feeding more than 4 adults?  Double the recipe!  This one makes a small stack in an 8 x 8 casserole dish.
