Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 sweet onion diced
- 2 bell peppers any color, diced
- 20 ounces cream of chicken soup
- 10 ounce can Ro*Tel tomatoes with chiles
- 1 cup water
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 12 corn tortillas
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- Cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Add the butter to a medium skillet over medium heat and melt. Stir in the diced onion and peppers and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add onions and peppers to a medium bowl, along with the cream of chicken soup, Ro*Tel tomatoes, water, and taco seasoning. Stir well to combine.
- Cut the tortillas into small squares.
- Spread 1/2 cup of the soup mixture into the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish. Top with 1/2 of the chicken, followed by 1/3 of the tortillas, and 1/3 of the cheese. Top with 1/2 of the remaining soup mixture.
- Repeat the layers - the top layer will consist of just tortillas, soup, and cheese.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
- Sprinkle chopped cilantro over the top and serve.
Notes
You can also make this recipe with cooked ground chicken, turkey, or beef in place of the shredded chicken.
There are mild and extra hot varieties of R*Tel if you like more or less spice. We just use the original variety.
