Mexican Stacks

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.

Ingredients
  1. 1 Package of Lipton Spanish Rice
  2. 1 Package of Lipton Chicken Flavored Rice
  3. 3 Large Chicken Breasts
  4. 1 TBL. Oil
  5. 1 Package of Taco Seasoning
  6. 1 Can Black Beans
  7. 1 Can Pinto Beans
  8. Cheddar Cheese, Grated
  9. Salsa
  10. Black Olives, Sliced
  11. Sour Cream
  12. Limes, Cut in Quarters
  13. Guacamole (I just peel and remove the pit and then mash the avocados with a fork. Adding salt and pepper to taste.)
Instructions
  1. Heat oil in a large fry pan. Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces and brown in oil. Add package of taco seasoning. The liquid from the chicken will be enough moisture, so no additional water is needed.
  2. Combine both packages of rice mix together and prepare as directed on the back of the packages. I mixed them to keep the Spanish rice a little more on the mild side.
  3. Warm each can of beans separately. Drain and top with grated cheese. I like to prepare both to give everyone a choice.
  4. Starting with the rice as the base layer add the rest of the ingredients as you would like.
  5. Squeeze a lemon on top to add a fresh taste.
