Chicken Tortilla Pot Pie

Don’t get me wrong…

Hearty Tortilla Chicken Pot Pie is a Family Favorite!

I LOVE making recipes that require little fuss — don’t you?

It gives me more time to spend with my family and enables me to get the house a little squeakier clean than normal.

It’s always a relief to spend less than an hour in the kitchen cleaning and cooking, isn’t it?

So you want to try it?

Oh, of course, I added a VERY yummy ingredient that is not in your traditional pot pie, but it should be.

It really should.

If you love my other recipes, you know I almost always include it.

Cheese!

In our family, everyone loves that ingredient. Because cheese makes life better. It just does.

Of course, to keep this recipe simple and easy, I just threw in some sliced cheese from the fridge — no grating necessary!  

This meal is ready in literally minutes!
