Preheat the oven to 325°F. While the oven is heating, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Dice the peppers and onion, and add them to the pan to saute for 2-3 minutes, until soft.
2 Tablespoons Butter, ½ cup Red bell pepper, ½ cup Onion
Add the chicken and mushroom soups and the can of diced tomatoes and chilies, then chop the chicken and add it to the pan. Mix gently.
2 cups Chicken breast, 1 10.75 oz Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup, 1 10.75 oz Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup, 1 14.5 oz Diced tomatoes and Green Chilies
Spray a casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray. Cut the tortillas into bite-sized pieces, then line the bottom of the dish with ⅓rd of the tortilla pieces. Top with ⅓rd of the chicken and soup mix, then 1 cup of cheese. Repeat, until you're out of soup mix and top it with cheese.
3 cups Cheddar cheese, 6 12-inch Flour tortillas
Bake, uncovered, for 30-40 minutes or until hot and bubbly.

Pre-cooked chicken works perfectly for this recipe! It's a perfect quick and easy meal for weekdays. I'll bake lots of chicken early in the week, and use it for everything.

Because so many of the ingredients are canned, this makes the perfect quick pantry dinner when you're busy and can't cook. Plus it makes a big portion, perfect for leftovers!

If you prefer the taste and flavor, you can use corn tortillas instead of flour.
