Just before putting casserole together, soak the frozen tortillas in boiling chicken stock until wilted.
Start layering casserole in 9 x 12-inch baking dish in following order: tortillas, chicken, onion, bell pepper, soup mixture and cheese. Repeat the layers, being sure the tortillas are oozing with the stock.
Cover the casserole with the Ro-Tel tomatoes and all the juice.
Juice in the casserole should be about half the depth of the dish, if not, add a little more stock.
Make at least 1 day ahead, so that the juices will blend.
