Slice and season 2 chicken breasts with homemade taco seasoning.

Heat olive oil in a pan and cook the seasoned chicken until done.

In a separate cast iron pan, add frozen corn and cook until browned.

Remove the chicken from the pan and add sliced onion to soften in the same pan.

Keep an eye on the corn to avoid burning while the onion softens.

Once the onion is softened and the corn is cooked, remove both from the heat.

Butter a sheet pan and lay overlapping tortillas on it.

Layer sharp cheddar and mozzarella cheese on the tortillas.

Add the cooked chicken, corn, and onions on top of the cheese.

Butter the top of the tortillas as well.

Cover with parchment paper and weigh down with a cast iron pan.

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Bake in the oven for 30 minutes, removing the top for the last 10 minutes to brown the top.
