I am always looking for new recipes because no matter what if feels like we eat the same things over and over. Today I would like to pass along a great recipe from Katie who blogs at a Mrs & a Mama. The great thing about her Chicken Tortilla Pie Recipe is it can be made unique to fit your family, something that is seriously important around here because I believe I am married to the worlds most picky eater.

Anyways, here is the recipe for Chicken Tortilla Pie. I hope y'all love it, and thank you for sharing Katie!

[what you need]

springform pan

tortillas

beans

rotisserie chicken

green onion

pico de gallo

diced green chilis

shredded cheese

chipotle tabasco 

This dish can really be cooked on any pan but I like using the springform pan because it can be a little messy to assemble and the edge catches all of the food.  To start, I do a few things to prep like shred chicken, rinse and drain beans, chop green onions, open the can of green chilis and spray my pan with avocado oil.  I also mix some of the chipotle tabasco in with the black beans.  This does make it spicy so if you are cooking for kids you can add it to the areas of the pie you would like and mark it with toothpicks.

Next, you will start to layer.  This is the order I do them in: tortilla, beans, chicken, green onions, pico, green chilis, cheese, repeat.  

While you are layering you need to be sure to get the food all the way to the edges or else each layer will sink in on the edges (as shown in photo above, bottom left) and the food will fall out as you build the layers up.  

In this particular dish I did three tortilla layers and on the third I only put beans, onions and cheese.  You can certainly do more layers.

I cooked it in a 350 degree over for about 20 minutes.  You want to make sure the center is hot before serving.  We eat this alone or with avocado slices and sometimes rice as a side.

I know its been a little quite over here. I've just been focused on the fact that I am days away from my due date, three days to be exact. In fact as I throw this post together I am having contractions. While baby P probably isn't coming for a few more days it is fun wondering if this could be it.

So I know it is a few weeks late but I wanted to share our trip to tulip town with you before life gets completely crazy. I love the tulips and missed them greatly during our time in California. If you ever make it up to the PNW during this magical time of year I highly suggest you add it to your to-do list.

"TTandTWINS123 - for Tatum, River, and Arizona, my littles, was created not very long ago at all. And before God blessed me with this ministry I had NO IDEA about screen printing, t-shirts, running a small business, etc. So when I say this is all about God. I mean it 100%. This is HIS thing, I am just His hands. 
Our prints are all about edifying God and spreading His Word. There is SO MUCH power in the name of JESUS. Our verse is Isaiah 55:11
"So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the things whereto I sent it."
Whether we speak His Word or wear it, it will not return unto Him void. So as long as God allows, we will plant seeds. 
To each person who orders from us, thank you. Thank you that you are boldly proclaiming the name of Jesus! My heart is all about the little tee's because we are raising up little missionaries. What is more eye catching then our adorable little loves rocking faith based apparel? 
Please do not just be an order, be my friend, reach out, let me know how I may pray for you. Share your testimony. Thank you so much for being apart of what He is doing!"

Jena was nice enough to mail not only a shirt for me, but one for Lilly as well. Mommy and Me sets are so adorable, and it really was so sweet of her. The shirts are made on American Apparel shirts which we love. They are so soft, and quality is always amazing. The shop has tons of different shirts, some more directly focused on faith than others, but they all share a positive message.

TTandTWINS123 and I will be giving a "give grace freely" shirt away on my IG this week so be sure to head over there and enter to win your own.
