Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion and green bell pepper until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, diced tomatoes with green chilies (Rotel), chicken broth, chili powder, ground cumin, and garlic powder. Stir until well mixed.

Step 4

Add the sautéed onion and bell pepper and shredded chicken to the mixture. Stir until evenly combined.

Step 5

Slice the corn tortillas into quarters.

Step 6

Layer one-third of the tortillas at the bottom of the prepared casserole dish. Top with one-third of the chicken mixture, followed by one-third of the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses.

Step 7

Repeat the layering process two more times, ending with the cheese layer on top.

Step 8

Cover the casserole dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

Step 10

Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
