Today I needed easy and I wanted some spice in my life. This casserole was loaded with just the spices I wanted and was super easy. Spanish rice and seasoned pinto's were the perfect sides. Hope you enjoy as much as we did!

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

2 large chicken breast, boneless cooked and cut in to bite size pieces (about 2 1/2 cups of chicken)
2 to 3 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 large onion, chopped
1 large bell pepper, chopped
2 clove garlic, chopped
1 large jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped (wear gloves when working with hot peppers)
3 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
salt and pepper to taste
1 can(s) (10-oz) diced tomatoes with green chiles, undrained (i used rotel original)
1 can(s) (10.5-oz) cream of mushroom soup
1 can(s) (10.5-oz) cream of chicken soup
3 Tbsp cilantro, chopped fresh
2 c crumbled tostitos chips (i used the ones with a "hint of lime"
2 c cheddar cheese, shredded

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 13 X 9-inch pan with cooking spray.
2. If cooking chicken, prepare and set aside. Rotissere chicken would work well in this dish. However, I did boil my chicken. Other meat such as pork, turkey or beef would also work well in this dish.
3. In a large skillet over a medium heat, saute onion, bell pepper, jalapeno pepper and garlic until tender, about 7 to 8 minutes. Add seasonings; stir to combine.
4. Mix tomatoes, both soups, chicken and 2 Tbsps of the cilantro; pour over onion mixture and mix well. Cook for additonal 2 minutes.
5. Pour chicken mixture into prepared pan and top with crumbled Tostitos; bake covered for 30 minutes or until it bubbles. NOTE: I use the "Hint of Lime Tostitos". You can use plain.
6. While casserole is baking toss cheese and remaining 1 Tbsp of cilantro. After casserole has baked for 30 minutes; remove cover and sprinkle cheese over top; bake 3 minutes uncovered or until cheese melts.
