No picture for this one.  I’m sure most people have the recipe for this, I’m adding this to the recipes for my daughter.
Ingredients:
  • 1 whole fryer cooked in water and seasoned with cumin, onion, celery and garlic.  debone chicken and shred.  Reserve 1 cup broth. 
  • 12 corn tortillas
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 2 cups of grated cheddar cheese or Monterey jack blend
  • 1 can of cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 can of cream of chicken soup
  • 1/2 - 1 cup of reserved chicken broth
  • 1 can of Ro-Tel tomatoes
  • 1 tsp. of chile powder
Directions:  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.   Saute onion and bell pepper in butter until soft and add soups, broth, Ro-Tel tomatoes and chile powder; stir until smooth.   Remove from heat and add shredded chicken to the soup mixture.  In a 9x13 casserole dish begin layering chicken/soup mixture, tortillas and cheese, ending with cheese on top.  Bake uncovered for half an hour or until brown and bubbling.
