Chicken Fiesta Casserole - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 lb chopped chicken
    1 onion, diced
    1 green pepper, chopped
    1 red pepper, chopped
    1 (16 ounce) jar salsa (optional)
    1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
    1 (14 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
    1 (10 ounce) package frozen corn, thawed
    12 corn tortillas (6 inch)
    1 lb shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
    1 (4 ounce) can black olives
Preparation
    PREHEAT oven to 375\u00b0F
    Brown the chicken with the onion and peppers in a large skillet, stirring frequently; drain.
    Stir in salsa, cream of mushroom, tomatoes and corn; bring to boil.
    Place 6 tortillas, overlapping as necessary onto the bottom of a 13x9 baking dish. Spoon the chicken mixture over tortillas; top with 1 cup of the cheese. Top with the remaining 6 tortillas. Cover with foil.
    BAKE 25 to 30 minutes or until heated through.
    Remove from oven; uncover. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
    Turn off the oven and replace the dish untils the cheese is melted.
    Serve hot with a salad, chips or cold fruit on the side. Don't forget the sour cream!
    Note: Sometimes Mom would add spices or salsa to the cheese topping. Or Ortega chiles. I loved it when she added some salt & pepper with garlic and the the Ortegas. This is still one of my favorite meals. :D. Especially when we had a fruit salad on the side.
