Ingredients:

1 whole chicken
1 large onion
1 green bell pepper
1 can Rotel
2 cans (10.5 oz size) Mushroom Soup
2 cups sharp or extra sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
10 large flour tortillas.

Directions:

Start by boiling chicken until its cooked. After completely done, allow to cool, then cut into bite-sized chunks. Meanwhile, mix the mushroom soup, Rotel, onion, bell pepper, and cheese. Then, add the chicken to the mixture. Lightly grease a 13x9 glass casserole dish, then completely line with one layer of tortillas. Place 1 half the soup/chicken/Rotel mixture into dish, then place another layer of tortillas over that. Then, put the other half of the mixture in the dish. Bake at 350 degrees for about 45-50 minutes. Allow to cool a little before serving. We usually make this with the "normal" Rotel, but you can suit the taste by using the newer varieties--mild, hot, extra hot. This version tends to be a little bit creamier than the other versions. Also, this freezes very well. I usually make up the casserole and freeze it before cooking. It does need to thaw completely before cooking, however.
