I have picky eaters in my family, but this is one dish everyone can agree with. The layers of tortillas followed by a filling of spicy Mexican flavors create a hearty meal that I’m sure your family will love as well.
In a large mixing bowl, combine four cups of Bisquick with two tablespoons of lard. Mix with your fingers or a fork.
Add one and one-half cups of water and mix until the dough forms a ball.
Place on a lightly Bisquick floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic.
Divide the dough into 24 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball.
Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Use a rolling pin to roll the balls into a thin, round circle.
Place in the hot skillet, and cook until golden. Flip and continue cooking until golden on both sides. Place the cooked tortilla on a plate and set it in the oven on warm heat until ready to use. Continue rolling and cooking the remaining dough.
Chicken Tortilla Filling
Brown two pounds of lean ground chicken with two cups of chopped onions in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Stir in four teaspoons of chili powder, one teaspoon of cumin, and two teaspoons of salt. Add two small cans of diced tomatoes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease the inside of a casserole dish.
Spread a thin layer of cream cheese on a tortilla and place it in the prepared casserole with the cream cheese facing upwards.
Add layers of black beans and the chicken mixture.
Repeat with two more layers of cream cheese, Bisquick tortillas, black beans, and chicken mixture.
Add final flour tortilla and a generous even spread of salsa. Sprinkle with the grated cheese.
