Check out this Jenga of tasty: start with the crispy tortilla shell bottom piece, baked by you. This is topped with mashed lentils with feisty taco seasoning stirred in. A mix of chicken, onions, and Fresno chiles are the next piece of the puzzle, coated with enchilada sauce. The top pieces (so easy its almost cheating to use) are shredded cheddar cheese, cooling sour cream, a hint of heat with red Fresnos, and a dash of cilantro. There's no piece of this puzzle that's easy to remove; it's all needed for this winning tower of flavor.
