Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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.

  • 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.
