Your site looks so very interesting. A friend in Texas recommended you "guys" -- I'm in Utah!

My mom has something similar to this that we always called Mexican stack-up. Instead of chicken we used homemade beef chili that was made in the slow cooker. We also added crushed tortilla chips, tomatoes, jalapenos and avacado. Good stuff and simple to put together.

This is really similar to a recipe that I made last night. Instead of salsa it called for rotel tomatoes (drained). I will try it with salsa next time (or if I don't have the rotel tomatoes). It was delicious!!

Can you send the recipe if you used an insta pot

If I want to use beef instead of chicken, what should I do differently? I followed the Youtube video you guys have with Chicken and it came out well! Made me a few meals while I'm in college.
