I have dropped the ball on cooking lately. I got my kitchen redone – all pretty and sparkly white- and haven’t spent nearly enough time in there. With activities every single night it makes it a challenge to stay on top of dinner. The slow cooker is the one thing that saved me. But I’m trying to get into a better routine. Ugh. Anyone else been there before? Anyway– I need quick, simple and delicious meals that my family will love. This Chicken Black Bean Enchilada Stack is so simple to make and got 2 thumbs up from my fam.
To make it even easier I used pre-made chicken. If you do any sort of meal prep, that can majorly cut down on the time spent making dinner every night. If not, this is still easy to prepare, you just have to calculate the time it takes to bake or broil the chicken.

I served it with a side of rice and our favorite roasted broccoli. Kind of random for a Mexican like dish but it went fine and we got in our vegetables. So all was good!
