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.
