Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 large yellow onion, diced (1 cup)
  • 1 small red bell pepper, diced (½ cup)
  • 1 small green bell pepper diced (½ cup)
  • 2 cans (10.5 ounces each) condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 can (10 ounces) diced tomatoes with green chilis
  • 1 cup (240 g) chicken stock
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 3 cups (420 g) rotisserie chicken, chopped, divided
  • 3 cups (339 g) mild cheddar cheese, shredded, divided
  • 6 flour (8 inches each) tortillas, cut into quarters, divided
  • parsley, for garnish, optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  • To a large skillet over high heat, add butter. Once the butter has melted, add onions, red pepper, and green pepper. Cook until softened (about 5-8 minutes).
  • Add soup, tomatoes, chicken stock, sour cream, chili powder, and cumin. Mix together until combined. Remove from heat.
  • Add ¼ cup of the sauce to the bottom of the prepared baking dish, spreading it out in an even layer.
  • Top the sauce with 12 quarter pieces of the tortillas, 1½ cups of chicken, 2 cups of the remaining sauce, and 1½ cups of cheese. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, chicken, sauce, and cheese.
  • Bake, uncovered, for 40 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling.
  • Broil for 1-2 minutes. (To brown the cheese- this is optional.) Remove from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes. (It may seem runny at first, but it will set up.)
  • Serve garnished with parsley.
