Taco Stack

Step 1

Preheat oven to 180C/350F.

Step 2

Prepare either the Pork Carnitas or Quick Mexican Chicken.

Step 3

Place the corn tortillas in the oven (I do it directly on the shelf) and bake for 3 to 5 minutes on each side, just to make them a bit stiff but not browned.

Step 4

Place a tortilla on a baking tray. Scatter 1/6th of the Pork Carnitas or Quick Mexican Chicken on the tortilla and top with Salsa (reserve some for Topping) then cheese. Place another tortilla on top and repeat, then again (so you end up with 3 layers of meat. Place the 4th tortilla on top. I don't put anything on it, but you could sprinkle some cheese if you want.

Step 5

Repeat with remaining 4 tortillas.

Step 6

Bake for 10 minutes until heated through and cheese is melted (it does not take long).

Step 7

Remove from oven.

Step 8

Top with remaining Salsa and Toppings of choice (I used sour cream, avocado, jalapeño and coriander/cilantro)

Step 9

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large pan over high heat. Add the corn and sauté for a couple of minutes until charred to your liking. (This step is optional)

Step 10

Allow to cool slightly, then toss with remaining Salsa ingredients.

Step 11

Defrost (if using frozen), then heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large fry pan over high heat.

Step 12

Add Pork Carnitas and cooking until the underside is golden brown (do not flip - Note 4).

Step 13

Remove from pan (scrape up all the brown bits) and set aside.

Step 14

Combine all ingredients other than the oil in a bowl and toss to combine.

Step 15

Heat the oil in a large fry pan over high heat.

Step 16

Add the chicken and sauté until browned and cooked through.

Step 17

Remove chicken from the fry pan. Allow to cool then either roughly chop into smaller pieces or use a fork to "shred".
