terrific tortilla tower

If you have left-over chicken after your 4th of July BBQ, consider using it to make a few of these tasty tortilla towers for lunch the next day.  I found this quick & simple recipe in the Six O Clock Scramble Cook Book.

1 can 15 oz black beans (drained and rinsed)
1 can 15 oz corn kernels (drained)

2-3 grilled chicken breasts – chopped in small pieces
8 fajita sized flour tortillas
2 cups shredded colby-jack cheese

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.  Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray.

In a medium bowl, mix together beans & corn.

Make the tortilla tower by alternating layers start with one tortilla and top with beans, corn, chicken & cheese.  Continue stacking 2 more layers and top it off with a plain tortilla.

Bake the tower, covered with foil for 10 minutes.  Remove cover and bake for 5-10 more minutes.  To serve, allow it to cool and few minutes, then cut in wedges and serve with salsa, guacamole & sour cream.  Makes 8 servings. Enjoy!
