Gosh, I kind of love stacked foods.
Do you guys remember yesterday when I told you those creamy buffalo chicken quinoa bake photos were burning up space on my computer? Yeah, well believe it or not these photos have been burning up space for longer.
I have just been waiting, waiting for the right time to share these stacks.
Now is the time.
See, I made these back in August when most of the country was still boiling hot. But over here in Colorado where I live, it’s never boiling hot. It just does not happen.
The weather has been so weird since I got home from Oregon over a month ago. Basically, it has rained every single day. No joke every single day. Loud rumbles of thunder, bolts of lighting, heavy hail and just pretty dark.
It is so weird.
And so cozy.
Which just gives me an excuse to light up my beloved Yankee Candles.
It’s kind of awesome.
My brothers think I am crazy. They say I look like a 70-year-old working on my computer with all my candles lit and the lights off. It’s kind of my happy place.
I love fall candles.
But anyway, the day I made these it was dark and stormy.
Oh hey wait, that’s today too. Told you, it really has been storming everyday, but today it is colder. I totally have the heater on me right now. Again, it’s kind of awesome.
You know what is also awesome?
Stacks.
I am obsessed.
It all started with thees BLT Corn Fritter Stacks. Remember those? They were epic. Every since then I have wanted to stack any and all food that I possibly can. Stacked food is just better. It’s fun, it’s cute and typically kind of over the top.
I love over the top food.
Originally, these were stacked to like the ceiling, but then I had to go and get all realistic and take it down a notch. Looking back, I wish I would have just gone all out. Those things were crazy, but so darn awesome.
Ugh. My realistic brain needs to shut itself off sometimes.
I guess my super stacks would have been similar to a runway show with crazy designs that are really cool but no one would actually ever wear. These are the more sensible version, not to mention way more easily eaten.
The first step to making these is the crockpot chicken chili con carne. Oh my gosh, so good, This alone is so awesome. You will be so happy for the leftovers the next day. It makes the best lunch. So good.
Just throw everything in the crockpot in the morning, go to work, go to school, take a nap, whatever. Then come home and smell the amazingness that is your house! Mmm! It’s gonna smell so good!
Then you gotta make the jumbo baked tortilla chips. It’s so easy – promise, and so worth it because you are going to season those babies up. Trust me, it is so good! Then just melt some cheese, stack and devour.
Oh wait, but first? First you have to load those stacks up with topping. Avocado, BACON, cilantro, green onions, jalapenos, greek yogurt and yes, FRITOS!
Just do it. Do it all.

Ok, and now devour!
What can we sub for the beer? Thanks!
Advantageously, the write-up is in reality the freshest topic on this associated concern. I fit in together with your conclusions and will eagerly appear forward to your upcoming updates. Just saying thanks is not going to just be adequate, for the exceptional clarity in your writing. I will straight grab your rss feed to stay informed of any updates.
I made this chili tonight. It’s the best thing I’ve made in quite a while. Seriously. Off the charts. My husband and kids love chili over noodles. I roasted some sweet potatoes for me and served the chili over it with avocado and cilantro. Wouldn’t change a thing about the chili. Can’t wait to use the leftovers for tostatas or nachos! Thanks so much!
SO happy you and your family loved this!! Thanks for making it and enjoy the leftovers!

Thank you!
CO weather is my favorite! I am a CO girl at heart even though I now live in UT, I can’t get over how much I love the sweet mountain towns and summers and just absolutely gorgeous.
WoW. Those nachos. They look so delicious and anything in a crock pot is a winner to me. So dang easy!
CO is the best! I love living here!!
Thanks Chelsea!
I’ve seen your tostada stacks floating around on Pinterest – they look amazing Tieghan – what a fun presentation and great for football Sundays!
Call me crazy, but I would love to live in a place that rained everyday. I grew up in Texas where it never rained, and now I get so excited when it rains!
I could eat these tostada stacks rain or shine, though! 🙂
Haha! It usually never rains here, so I can actually understand! I am liking the cozy rain!
Thank you!
Yes I love stacked foods too!
When you make it!
Hehe!! Thanks!! 🙂
Perfect timing! I need to make these this weekend!!
Thanks Julie! Let me know if you make them!
Stacked is the best! Stacked cheesiness is even better!
Agree!! Thanks Chung-Ah!
Stacked food is so fun, these tostadas are no exception!
Thanks Laura!
Goodness! These are all kinds of perfect!!! Love stacked enchiladas. Sounds like a lovely happy place if you ask me. ;}
Thanks Gwen!
Love the stacked presentation. A perfect way to serve a chilli for a dinner party, such dishes are normally so difficult to present nicely for your guests, thanks.
Thank you!
That’s just a work of art right there, Tieghan!
Thanks Amy!
