- 🍄 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup

- 2 tablespoons sour cream

STEPS

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather all ingredients.

Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. Sauté diced onion and bell peppers for about 2 minutes, then transfer to a separate large bowl.

In the same large bowl, mix condensed soups, diced tomatoes with green chile peppers, chicken broth, sour cream, cumin, ancho chile powder, oregano, and chipotle chile powder to create the sauce.

Spread some sauce onto the base of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Create the first layer: half of the shredded chicken, half of the sauce, half of the Cheddar cheese, and half of the tortillas.

Layer the remaining chicken over the tortillas. Spread all but 1/2 cup of the remaining sauce over the chicken, then top with 1/3 of the Cheddar cheese and the remaining tortillas.

Add the last 1/2 cup of sauce and sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top.

Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until bubbling.

Optional: Broil for 2 to 3 minutes until the top is golden.

Remove from oven, let cool slightly, and serve hot.
