We’re all in search of easy dinner recipes that are quick to put together but don’t compromise on taste. Mexican stack-ups will be a perfect addition to your rotation. Plus, this dish is super easy to customize so the picky eaters in your house won’t be able to complain.
The Basics of Mexican Stack-Ups
At its core, a Mexican Stack-Up is like a deconstructed taco or a personalized nacho plate. It typically consists of layers of tortillas or tortilla chips (Fritos are also great!) topped with a variety of Mexican-inspired ingredients such as seasoned ground beef or chicken, beans, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and sour cream.
Serving Suggestions
To serve, lay out all the components on your dining table or kitchen counter. Start with a base layer of chips or a flat tortilla, then spoon on some meat and beans. From there, add your choice of toppings: shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, lettuce, olives, jalapeños, sour cream, and guacamole. For a final touch, drizzle with salsa or a squeeze of lime.
Main Tip for a Successful Mexican Stack-Up Night
Cook the meat and chop the vegetables ahead of time. You can even use pre-cooked meats or rotisserie chicken to save time. With that, you’ll be ready to go in minutes.
