Mexican Stacks

This post contains affiliate links.

I recently had a layover in an airport and stopped into a cute Mexican Café and had a dish called a “Mexican Bowl”.  It was similar to a taco salad but with no lettuce or chips.  It also reminded me of a Hawaiian Haystack or the chicken bowl at KFC.  Being a lover of any type of Mexican food I decided to make my own version of this delicious meal.  This would also be great for any large family gatherings and is served buffet style.
