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.

I made this last night for dinner…super easy to make. It’s colorful, and the aroma in the kitchen is out of this world! The whole family gobbled it right up! I think next time I make it I would add just a bit more chili powder and maybe add some chopped jalapenos (we like it spicy). Other than that it was delicious! And the skillet cleaned up SUPER easy.
So glad you enjoyed it Jeff and thanks for leaving your tips to add more chili powder and chopped jalapenos. I love meals like this that cook in one pan. 🙂
Okay, this cheesy Mexican goodness is out of control. I can’t even tell you how hard I’m obsessing over this recipe! I’ve gotta try it ASAP!
Look at all those layers!!!! And the cheese 🙂
I’m all about Mexican food, and I’m loving the looks of this pie! That’s so great that it’s made all in one pot, which makes me love it even more. 🙂
Seriously!!!! This looks so good. You pretty much had me at two layers of refried beans. I’m a refried bean maniac. What a great cast iron skillet meal.
Love skillet meals! My family would love this!
This is such a fun dish! I know the whole family would love it!
Oh my goodness! We love any type of Mexican food in our house, my husband would love this! And how awesome that it’s a one pot meal too. The less dishes the better 🙂
I used to grow up on tortilla pie over the summers at my aunt and uncle’s house. After a day out in their pool, I’d be all ready for some of this deliciosuness!
I’m totally craving this dish for breakfast! I love the layers of flavor in here, Christin! And that melty cheese is just calling my name. Sounds delicious!
