15 oz. can Rotel diced tomato and green chilis

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray. Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, pepper, and garlic and sauté until tender. Add diced green chilis, chicken, beans, corn, diced tomatoes, and 1/2 the enchilada sauce. Stir to combine. Remove from heat and set aside. Pour 1/2 cup enchilada sauce in baking dish and spread in even layer. Top with four tortillas. Top evenly with 1/3 of the chicken mixture and 1/3 of the cheese. Repeat with another layer of tortillas, chicken, and cheese. Top with one more layer of tortillas, chicken, remaining enchilada sauce, and cheese. Cover pan with foil and bake 20-30 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 10 minutes. Remove from oven and top each serving with additional toppings (if desired), such as avocado, sour cream/greek yogurt, cilantro, or salsa.
