What do you get when you combine Italian and Mexican cuisine?
The night I made this, we had no dinner plans, and not much in the fridge. Darryl is always in the mood for Mexican food, so I went hunting in the pantry for a bunch of goodies to throw in the crockpot to make a killer meal. This stack up recipe was easy, full of veggies and tasted GREAT! You can also easily customize this crockpot meal.
We used the vegetarian chicken, but you could used real shredded chicken, beef, or just extra beans and veggies. I am excited to try out our veggie sausage crumble next time. The leftovers heat up great too!Darryl and I both agreed that topping your serving with sour cream is a must! Darryl isn’t a big fan of sour cream, so I just put a little on the side of his plate.
He quickly added more, saying “that really makes the dish!” If you are really hate sour cream, I think topping it with avocado would also be amazing. Hope you enjoy!
Crockpot Mexican Lasagna Stack Up
- 12-14 tortillas (I used small corn tortillas)
- 2 cups of shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 1 tbsp of fajita seasoning
- 28oz can of tomatoes, drained
- 15.5 oz can of black beans, drained
- 15.5 oz can corn (or frozen), drained
- 2 cups of salsa
- 2 cups of cooked, shredded chicken (or veggie chicken)
- 1 small onion, chopped
DIRECTIONS:
- Spray crockpot with cooking spray. Lay down layer of tortillas. Each crockpot will vary in size. Mine took 4 small tortillas to cover the bottom.
- Next, spread a layer of tomatoes.
- Sprinkle some chopped onions & black beans on top of the tomatoes.
- Cover beans with a layer of salsa & apply a generous amount of fajita seasoning.
- Next layer on your chicken & corn. (pictured with vegetarian fake chicken)
- Top corn with a layer of shredded cheese.
- Like I said, all crockpots are different shapes and sizes. So keep layering until you are a couple inches from the top. I was able to repeat the layers 3 times.
- When you do reach the top, for the final layer, do a later of tortillas, topped with the rest of your tomatoes and cheese.
- Cook on low for 3-4 hours or on high for 2 hours. Top with sour cream of avocado 🙂

Yes
LaLaNeal says
Do you used cooked chicken or raw? The picture looks cooked but I can’t imagine why it would take 2 hours if the food is already cooked. I would like to make this tonight.
Thanks!
Corey says
Shredded cooked chicken… I used rotisserie chicken. 🙂

Suzi says
looks good… we’ll have to try this one. I am always looking for crockpot recipes. You said your husband does not like sour cream… and I see he’s vegetarian (we are too… with minimal dairy)… you could try making a vegan sour cream or vegan mayo to top it with. It has a ‘nuttier’ taste than dairy sour cream as it is made with cashews and tofu… so he may like that even better! Can’t wait to try this one.
