Mexican Chicken Haystacks

Oh My Goodness! This is seriously so good. My picture didn’t do it justice but please take my word on it. Layer some of your favorite tortilla chips, in my case we used  baked cheddar tortilla chips, and layer it with rice, lots of tasty add ins and the most delicious and flavorful sauce ever. You have got to try this one!

The original recipe used a crock pot for this. I am not a fan of using a crock pot so I just cooked it on the stove top. I prefer this because chicken has a tendency to get a weird texture to it when it sits in a crock pot all day long. Also a plus is that it is done and ready to eat much more quickly.
