- 1/4 cup salted butter
- 1 large green pepper seeded & diced
- 1 medium yellow onion peeled & diced
- 1 10.5 oz can cream of chicken soup
- 1 10.5 oz can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 10 oz can mild diced tomatoes with green chiles drained
- 2 cups chopped rotisserie chicken
- 3 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 14 corn tortillas cut into 1" pieces
Add the butter to a large skillet set over medium heat. Once melted, add the pepper & onion to the skillet. Saute, stirring occasionally, just until the veggies are tender.
Remove the skillet from heat, and add the soups, tomatoes, and chicken to the skillet, stirring until the mixture's evenly combined. Set aside.
Lightly spray a 9x13" baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Spread 1/3 of the cut tortillas in an even layer in the bottom of the dish. Spread 1/3 of the chicken mixture evenly out overtop the tortillas, followed by 1/3 of the cheese.
Repeat with two more layers, ending with the last of the cheese sprinkled evenly out overtop of the casserole.
Bake at 325° for 35-40 minutes.
Serve warm & enjoy!
