One Pot Chicken Tortilla Pie has layer after layer of flour tortillas with all kinds of goodness sandwiched in between and tons of melted cheese on top. The whole thing is cooked in a cast iron pan for a very easy meal with little kitchen cleanup.
There are two layers of refried bean and enchilada sauce mixture and two layers of a creamy chicken mixture with cheese, green chilies, and corn.
If you let it sit and cool for a little while, you can slice it into pie-shaped pieces that hold together wonderfully.
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.

We liked the final dish, but thought it needed more spice next time for a bit of heat. I only had large (8″) tortillas on hand, but they worked out fine, with some chicken left over. The other thing I’d need to change next time is that the refried beans/enchilada sauce mixture was way too watery. The beans were pretty well mashed up in the can, and adding 2 cups of sauce was just too much. All in all, though, it was delicious.
Can u use corn tortillas instead of flour
Do you have any suggestions for a substitute for the enchilada sauce that doesn’t have any kind of cooked tomatoes or tomatillos? Do you think it would be ok just to have plain refried beans?
This recipe is great and the tacos are DELICIOUS. However, they are not a friend to your colon. Be prepared. Me and my boyfriend were suffering after eating this!
My family loved this!
