Instant Pot Chicken Taco Bake
One night when I was planning on making tacos for the kids, I discovered that I was out of taco shells. I had already made the filling and I didn't have time to run out to the store so I took some tortillas and made this bake instead. It turned out to be a big hit with them. It has a wet burrito feel without all the effort of having to make them or the sogginess. It is sort of like a lasagna without all the pasta.
One of the keys is to use sprouted tortillas. They have a texture that keeps things from getting soggy. Trader Joe's usually has them.

Taco Bake Taco Bake
I make a large casserole because my sons decimate this dish. With the chips it doesn't reheat very well. They just turn kind of soggy. If you don't need this much, only use half the ingredients. (If you don't want half a can of beans left over, you can just put the whole can in, it won't make much difference. Same with the taco seasoning.)
