If you love delicious Mexican food that is simple and tastes great, my Meadow Mushroom & Chicken Taco Stack is perfect for you! We make a delicious filling with mushrooms, chicken, corn and chilli beans and a few more goodies, then sandwich it between tacos and cheese and bake. Yum!
This taco stack is really impressive when it hits the table, but it does not take lots of effort I promise! We are using all the lovely flavours in the chilli beans to get the Mexican taste. Cutting the mushrooms finely like I have here means they incorporate into the filling really nicely.
The ingredients for the filling of this recipe are : Butter, oil, onion, garlic, meadow mushrooms, capsicum, chicken breast, chilli beans and seasoning. You will also need cheese and tacos for assembly.
Then for the toppings you need sour cream, avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, coriander and 1/2 a lemon.
How to make Meadow Mushroom & Chicken Taco Stack:
First you whizz the mushrooms in the food processor until finely chopped. After preheating the oven, start on the filling by adding oil and butter to a large pan. Then add the onions, mushrooms and capsicum. Season well here, mushrooms love salt.
Once the mushroom mix is nicely cooked add the chicken, chilli beans and corn. Cook until nice and hot and tasting delicious. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Line an ovenproof dish with baking paper and grease with some oil. Assemble taco stack by layering the tacos, mushroom filling, cheese and repeat. Top with cheese and bake for 15 minutes. Or until golden.
While it is cooking, make the guacamole. Take a bowl and mash teh avocardo with a fork, add the red onion, coriander, lemon juice and tomatoes. Season well, mix, taste, adjust seasoning if needed.
When the taco stack is cooked and looking gorgeous, drizzle with sour cream and dollops of guacamole. Slice into wedges and serve.
