You can even take these ingredients and add them in an Impossible Taco Pie (using my standard Impossible Pie recipe). Or try this Skillet Mexican Lasagna! So good!
This is a great casserole dish if you’re looking for an easy weeknight dinner, or a Cinco de Mayo recipe!
What I also love about a good tortilla pie recipe is you can make it your own. Make it in whatever size pan you choose (a pie plate works, too!) Add in rice and beans (for vegetarian), or leave out the olives, add a ton of fresh cilantro, salsa between the layers. Go for it! :)
All you need are these ingredients:
- Corn tortillas
- Shredded chicken (I use rotisserie)
- Chopped green chiles
- Salsa
- Sour cream + extra for topping
- Monterey Jack cheese (or Mexican blend)
- Fresh cilantro
- Fresh tomatoes

- Top with remaining tortillas, salsa, and cheese.

How do you make frito taco pie?
Pedro’s Special Mexican Casserole is the recipe I grew up with. It’s a super easy meal, baked with corn chips (Frito chips) on top, and served with your favorite toppings! You can watch the video!
My friend Holly makes a killer Layered Doritos Casserole!
We also have a Walking Taco Board coming SOON on the new BLACK ebonized board (coming to the store!)
Tortilla Chicken Pie
Years ago, when my kids were in high school, this was one of our favorite go-to recipes, quick and easy, when they returned home from soccer practice.
Taco Pie is yummy and goes well served with Homemade Refried Pinto Beans, and these little cookie bites for dessert: Raspberry Lemon Cream Galettes.
Rotisserie chickens come in handy. You can even freeze the chicken and cheese, to make sure you have the ingredients on hand.
Oh, and this is even better if you can use dark meat (a bit richer), like chicken thigh meat. Or, you could even use ground beef or ground turkey, or shredded pork. Try my 2-ingredients Crock Pot Pork Verde recipe for this casserole dish.
Very simple ingredients, and the topping is always the best part, right?
Sour cream, fresh tomatoes and cilantro, and possibly a few drops of tabasco.
Layer, stack, and serve!
ENJOY!

i used rotelles instead of green chiles. and mild enchilada sauce. Also added lettuce and salsa on top. Very good. thanks
Can this be done with flour tortillas? Thank you so much.
I’ve never tried it, but I would think it would be delicious (just a different texture!)
Made this but added salsa and refried beans. Family loved it! Thank you. :)
Can this be assembled the night before and refrigerated until time to cook?
Yes!!
I make something very similar to this however I bake it in a spring form pan and slice it up like pie. Yours looks delish!
Yum! Sounds wonderful!!! The climate change will certainly be an adjustment won’t it?
Welcome to Bend!
I absolutely LOVE Bend! We used to go on trips to Sunriver every single summer and some of my best childhood memories are made in that area. One day, I hope to move there ourselves. Good luck with the move! And this looks like a great meal!
