King Ranch Casserole

This is another favorite of ours. It seems as if I have a Mexican theme. :-)

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons butter/margerine

1 medium onion (chopped)

1 green bell pepper (chopped)

1 red bell pepper (chopped)

3 cups chopped cooked chicken

1 can cream of chicken soup

1 can cream of mushroom soup

1 can diced tomatoes & green chiles

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

2 cups crushed tortilla chips

2 cups shredded cheese

Garnish: chopped fresh cilantro

Preheat oven to 325.

Melt butter in medium skillet over med-high heat. Add onion and peppers: saute 8 min or until tender. Stir in chicken and next 5 ingredients. Cook, stir occasionally for 2 min.

Place half of tortilla chips in bottom of 9 x 12.5 pan. Layer with half of chicken mixture and shredded cheese. Repeat layers, ending with cheese. Bake, uncovered at 325 for 45 min, or until mixture is thoroughly heated. Garnish, if desired.
