Ingredients

Scale
  • 2-3 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • 1 can (10 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 can (10 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 can (10 oz) Ro-Tel tomatoes with green chilies
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 12 corn tortillas, cut into quarters
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • In a skillet, heat the oil and sauté onion and bell pepper until softened.
  • In a large bowl, mix the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, Ro-Tel tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Layer half of the tortillas on the bottom of the baking dish, followed by half of the shredded chicken, half of the sautéed vegetables, and half of the cheese. Spread half of the soup mixture over the layers.
  • Repeat the layers: tortillas, chicken, vegetables, cheese, and soup mixture.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, until bubbly and the cheese is melted.
  • Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute flour tortillas for corn tortillas if preferred.
  • Rotisserie chicken works great for this recipe to save time.
  • For added heat, use spicy Ro-Tel or add jalapeños to the mixture.
