Serves: Serves 1

INGREDIENTS

• 3 small tortillas, about 4.5 inch wide
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1½ cups diced cooked chicken
• 1 package (9oz) of Cacique Beef Chorizo
• Red Salsa
• 2 cups grated Cacique Enchilada Cheese
• 1 large egg
• Fresh cilantro, chopped

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Heat the olive oil in a small pan.
3. Cook each tortilla for about 1 minute on both sides.This just helps the tortilla stack better.
4. Lay the tortillas on a paper towel to drain.
5. In another pan, cook the chorizo for 5-7 minutes, stirring well and set aside.
6. Take one tortilla and place it back in the pan but with the heat off.
7. Add some chopped chicken on top of the tortilla followed by about 2 tablespoons of chorizo.
8. Place a dollop of salsa on top and then about ¼ cup of the grated cheese.
9. Place another tortilla on top and repeat the layers until all three tortillas have been used and you end up with cheese at the top.
10. Carefully place the pan into the oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes and the cheese has started to melt in each layer.
11. When the stack is almost ready, cook the egg in a small pan.
12. Take the tortilla stack from the oven and top with the egg.
13. Garnish with some salt, pepper and lots of fresh chopped cilantro.
14. Serve immediately.

NOTES

This recipe is for one stack. Just double the recipe and use a larger pan to bake them in the oven if you need two stacks.
