– 1 yellow bell pepper, finely chopped
– 1 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
– 2 tablespoons of chili powder
– 1/2 teaspoon of ground cumin
– 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt
– 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
– 1 can (10.5 ounces) of cream of chicken soup
– 1 can (10.5 ounces) of cream of mushroom soup
– 1 can (10 ounces) of diced tomatoes with green chilies (such as Rotel)
– 1/2 cup of chicken broth
– 1 whole roasted chicken (like rotisserie chicken), cooled and torn into chunks (approximately 4 cups)
– 16 corn tortillas, torn into pieces
– 1 1/2 cups of shredded sharp cheddar cheese (around 6 ounces)

Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with oil.
2. In a large Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the onion, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, jalapeño, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook until the vegetables are tender and slightly golden, for about 5 to 7 minutes.
3. Stir in the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, diced tomatoes with green chilies, and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Reserve 1/2 cup of the sauce. Remove from heat and gently fold in the chicken.
4. Spread the reserved 1/2 cup sauce on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Layer half of the torn tortillas on top of the sauce. Spoon half of the chicken mixture over the tortillas. Sprinkle half of the cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese over the chicken.
5. Repeat the layers of tortillas, chicken mixture, and cheeses once more.
6. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Then, uncover and bake until the dish is bubbling and golden, for an additional 15 to 20 minutes.
7. Allow the dish to sit for 5 minutes before serving.
