  • 1/2 cup green bell pepper, diced
  • 4 cups cooked and shredded chicken
  • 1 (10 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup, not diluted

  5. Arrange 1/3 of the corn tortillas in an even layer in the bottom of prepared casserole dish, followed by 1/3 of the chicken mixture and 1/3 of the shredded cheddar cheese.
  6. Repeat with two more layers, finishing with the shredded cheddar.
