Thrilled to share a new dinner recipe with you! My Chicken Bacon and Ranch Stacked Enchiladas will have the whole family excited for dinner. Instead of rolling enchiladas into a baking dish, you stack them right on top of each other layered with my enchilada sauce, cheese and avocado.
I had so much fun creating this recipe at my Father In Law’s home in AZ last week. We always have a great time cooking together. I love this picture of Reed and Pax sound asleep. Grawpa Reed has a way with all the babies. He knows how to put them right to sleep in his magical rocking recliner, lol! My boys started calling Reed “Grawpa” when they were little tikes, I love that they still call him that. He’s also known as Grumpy to his other grand kids. Lots of nicknames in our family!
Anytime Reed and I get together, you know there is cooking and baking involved. He even has a recipe in my cookbook…..Page 104, Reed’s Beef Enchilada Bake. You have got to try it, major winner
Thanks for always letting me create in your kitchen Reed, until next time!
Let’s take a look at how we make my stacked enchiladas shall we?
We start the recipe by making a simple roux. Melt a stick a’ buttah then whisk in your flour.
Once smooth, whisk in your chicken broth until thick and bubbly.
Time for the cheese! This cheese sauce is pretty ridiculous. Try dipping a tortilla chip and tell me what you think
Now….if you are anti-Ranch Dressing seasoning you can leave this out. It brings a great flavor to the enchilada sauce so I highly recommend it. Once you add the Ranch, add your ground cumin too.
Bacon time! Crumble it right into the sauce.
Add some cooked shredded chicken breast. About 3 cups or 2 breasts.
Four ounces of diced green chilies.
Make sure you get the mild Rotel diced tomatoes.
Give a good mix and taste. Soooo good! You can use this sauce on a number of recipes. Try pouring it over pasta and nachos!
Pan-fry the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side. They’ll still be soft.
Get a nice spoonful of your sauce ready.
Spread a spoonful of enchilada sauce over a tortilla.
Add a sprinkle of cheese please.
Top with another tortilla and repeat with sauce, cheese, avocado slices and cilantro. Drooling over here.
Yah, these are pretty incredible. Enjoy.

Yum Jenny!! I love enchiladas for dinner, stacked even better!
Oh. My. Lord.
Yum! These have my name all over them. My husband claims “he doesn’t like enchiladas.” …and of course, I can’t get enough of them. These are perfect for getting my Mexican food fill…and disguised enough…he’ll never know.;)

My hubby LOVES enchiladas. I will have to make these for him! He’ll love you for this recipe!
This sounds so delicious with a chip, on a tortilla, with a spoon. . . It sounds like a great combination of the bestest yummiest foods. Can’t wait to try it.
We love enchiladas and this is so much easier than the traditional way! Perfect for busy weeknights!
Jenny…..these sound awesome, might even try them tonight !!!! Growing up my Mom made stacked cheese/onion enchiladas using red sauce and cheese /onions…..haven’t made them in years….thanks for bringing back the memories !
Jenny, that looks fabulous! Creamy, spicy, what more could a girl ask for?
You had me at Mexican! I’m missing these flavors after our vacation.
Hi there. The current Food on Friday on Carole’s Chatter is collecting links to posts about Mexican dishes and flavours. I do hope you link this one in. This is the link . Please do pop back to check out some of the other links – there are a lot of good ones already. Have a great week.
Love mexican food and your twist on classic enchiladas! Yum!
ps: Grawpa is a cute name
I had everything but the tortillas, but I really wanted to try this. So instead, I made the sauce and added it to a some cooked rice and then put some more cheese on top and baked. It was so good that way too! I really want to do it with the tortillas next time but the flavor was all there and my husband loved it that way too! Thanks Jenny! Delish flavors!
Jenny,
This looks absolutely fantastic! For some reason, it reminds me of biscuits and gravy with a Mexican twist. Love, love, love!
