Recipe Tips

I made One Pot Chicken Tortilla Pie in a 12-inch cast iron pan with 12-inch tortillas. When layering the tortillas in the pan, it quickly became obvious they were not all exactly 12-inches. They actually varied in size quite a bit. Oh well.

You could use smaller tortillas and overlap them some. That might actually look better.

Anything with the word “pie” in the name gets me excited. Savory pies, sweet pies. Love them all. A slice of this Chicken Tortilla Pie makes a hearty and delicious dinner and makes enough servings to serve 8 people.
