Ingredients

1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chiles (such as RO*TEL® Original), drained
½ cup sour cream
2 tablespoons milk
1 ½ tablespoons taco seasoning mix
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 cups cubed cooked chicken
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, or more to taste
1 cup crushed tortilla chips

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Combine soup, diced tomatoes with chiles, sour cream, milk, taco seasoning, and cayenne pepper in a bowl. Add chicken and 1/2 of the cheese. Just before baking in the oven, add crushed tortilla chips and combine evenly. Put in a baking dish and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until hot, bubbly, and cheese is melted, about 40 minutes.
