SOUTH OF THE BORDER CHICKEN CASSEROLE

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.
