Yield:

Ingredients:

2 C. cooked chicken, chopped
1 lb. ground turkey, cooked and drained
1 bag (12 oz.) corn chips
1 can refried beans
2 pkgs. Fajita seasoning mixes
1 small jar salsa, picante sauce or rotel tomatoes (drain if using rotel)
1/2 C. onion, chopped, optional
2 bags (8 oz. each) shredded cheese

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 13x9x2-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
Place chopped chickn in skillet with one package of seasoning mix, and 1/3 cup of water. Saute chicken until evenly coated and all the water is gone; set aside until chicken is cool. Place ground turkey in skillet with seasoning mix and 1/3 cup of water. Simmer until thoroughly mixed and all of the water is gone. Make sure ground turkey is stirred into a fine texture; place to the side until the turkey is cool. Place half of the corn chips into a gallon-size zip top bag. Use a rolling pin to crunch chips to a crumbled texture. Spread chips evenly over the bottom of baking dish. Open refried beans and empty onto cutting board or large plate. Slice into 10 or 12 circles. Place circles evenly over chips. (Note: If beans won't slice, just spread them over the top. Warm beans slightly to make spreading easier, if necessary.)

Evenly spread chicken pieces over the beans, then sprinkle with one bag of shredded cheese. Place remaining corn chips into the same zip top bag, and agan, crush to crumbled texture. Spread corn chips over chicken. Spoon salsa evenly over chips. Spread ground turkey over sauce. Sprinkle remaining bag of shredded cheese over top, and bake until cheese is melted, about 25-30 minutes.

Serve with guacamole, sour cream, or spoon ample amounts into warmed tortillas topped with salsa. Enjoy!
