10-Minute Crispy Chicken Stacker

This 10-minute veggie chicken stacker features juicy chicken and a giant tortilla folded into four layers. Within these layers, I add pico de gallo, guacamole, queso, and lettuce. This meal is filling and satisfying. Also, it includes protein, some veggies, dairy, and a carb!

Substitutes

This recipe for a chicken stacker is very easy to customize. Starting with the chicken, you can substitute any ground meat. Some options may be turkey, beef. I like to buy the chicken seasoned with fajita seasoning. I like the brand Mighty Spark as they use fajita veggies chopped small into the chicken. However, any ground chicken or meat works.

Also, You can substitute the queso for regular cheddar cheese, a Mexican blend, or any cheese to your preference. I like queso because I feel like it’s creamy and adds an amazing melty texture to the stack. If I am feeling fancy, I will make my queso at home. However, grocery stores tend to have many good options.

As far as the other ingredients, you can be as creative as you would like! You can add another meat, vegetable, or even just use more guacamole!

Homemade Pico De Gallo

Making homemade pico de gallo is so simple, so I rarely buy it pre-made. All I do is chop up my ingredients into small cubes and mix them together. The ingredients are:

tomato (chopped)
1/4 and onion (chopped)
2 tbsp cilantro (minced)
1 lime for lime juice (squeezed)

Notes for Leftovers

To make this the next day, I would recommend storing each ingredient separately. Then, I would assemble and grill on the stove when ready to eat. The reason being that this avoids the tortilla from getting soggy and keeps the ingredients fresh. If you pre-make the wrap before, try to use ingredients that would stay fresh and will not make the tortilla as soggy (for example, using a different cheese rather than queso, and peppers instead of guac).

Ingredients

– 5 oz ground chicken (I buy Mighty Spark because it’s pre-seasoned and they have veggies diced small into it, but you can get normal chicken and season it yourself with Mexican seasoning)

– 1 large tortilla

– 1 tbsp smashed avocado

– 1 tbsp queso

– 1 tbsp pico de gallo

– 2 tbsp chopped lettuce

– Any side salsa or hot sauce you prefer

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

1. Lay the tortilla flat on the surface. Press chicken evenly onto the tortilla making it flat, and cover the surface of the tortilla.

2. On a pan on medium heat, lay the tortilla with chicken facing down. Cook until the chicken is cooked through.

3. Flip the tortilla back onto the surface of your counter or cutting board with the chicken facing up. Cut a line from the center of your tortilla to one end. The tortilla should not be cut in half

4. Put a different topping on each quarter. I started with guac, then lettuce, pico de gallo, and my last quarter had queso.

5. Fold each quarter onto another, creating a stacker.

6. Toast each side on a heated pan for desired crispiness.

7. Enjoy!
