- Cooks' notesCook the pasta until it is just tender; do not overcook. This dish may be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated until baking. You will need to add 10 to 15 minutes to the baking time. Chipotle chili powder is quite spicy. If you can't find it or would like a less spicy version, use regular chili powder instead.

- Chop chicken breasts into bite sized pieces, brown in olive oil til cooked thoroughly.
- Drain excess oil and return chicken to pan. Add cilantro, peppers, beans, tomatoes, and seasonings. Simmer for about 10mins, stirring all ingredients occasionally. Remove from heat.
- Spoon ¼ to ½ cup of chicken and bean mix onto the tortilla wrap. Do not overfill your wrap. Add ¼ cup of shredded cheddar cheese to top of mix. Fold tortilla wrap like an envelope, with the sides last. Place seam side down on lightly greased 13x22x33 casserole dish. Repeat with remaining wraps. Sprinkle ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese over wraps, heat in oven until cheese is lightly melted. Serve with rice,salsa and sour cream.
- Recipe can be spiced up according to cook's taste. Some like it hot, some like it mild. Recipe can also be scaled down based on amount of people you are serving.
- The fresh cilantro makes a huge difference. Do not substitute dried as it will significantly alter the taste.

Steps:
- Brown hamburger meat and drain. (I always add onion flakes to my hamburger meat as I am browning it.)
- In medium sized pot add soups, milk, and Rotel. Heat but do not let boil.
- Place a layer of Doritos in the bottom of a rectangular pan. Top chips with some of the meat, then the soup mixture, then cheese. Layer until meat and soup mixture is gone. (Around 3 layers).
- Cover with aluminum foil and bake in oven at 350 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes. Take out of oven top with cheese (and sliced black olives & jalapenos if desired) and place back in oven for 10 minutes or until cheese is completely melted.
- If you like your food really spicy use HOT ROTEL and top with Jalapenos either before or after baking for the last 10 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
