Mexican Chicken Bake (Easy Chilaquiles) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups chicken, cooked, chopped
1 (8 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
1 (8 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
2 cups cheddar cheese, shreeded (may sub monterey jack or mexican cheese mix)
1 onion, diced
1/2 cup bell pepper, diced (red bell pepper looks beautiful in this dish, but green is good too)
1 garlic clove, pressed
1/2 cup salsa (any kind you like, I prefer regular thick n' chunky)
12 corn tortillas
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon oil

Preparation

In a skillet, heat oil, then add onion bell pepper and garlic, Saute until onions are almost translucent (this is especially delicious if you cook this in the same skillet that you cooked your chicken in). Set aside.
In a bowl combine, soups, onion.bell pepper, chicken, salsa, chili powder, cayenne, (optional) couple dashes of hot sauce (I use Tapatio) & 1 1/2 cups of cheese; Mix well.
In a baking dish (I used a square 9 x 9), grease with a little cooking spray, then lay out four tortillas overlapping. Pour 1/3 of mixture from bowl on top of tortillas. Repeat steps, finally ending with putting the last 1/2 cup of cheese on top.
Bake at 350 for 30-45 minutes or until bubbly. This is a great \"freezer-meal\", just wrap it up in a freezer dish, pop it in the freezer and thaw before you want to cook it, use the same cooking temp and time.
