Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 9x13-inch casserole dish with baking spray.
- If needed, cook and shred chicken according to these easy steps.
- Heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high, then add the onion, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and jalapeno. Saute until the veggies are tender, about 10 minutes.
- Add the garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add the tomato sauce, chicken stock, and jalapeno hot sauce, then stir to combine. Let the sauce simmer for 12 minutes.
- To assemble the casserole, spread a thin layer of the sauce on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Arrange 6 tortillas on top to cover the sauce, overlapping as needed.
- Top with 1/3 of the chicken and 1/2 cup of cheese.
- Spread 1/3 of the remaining sauce over the top, then repeat the process twice more.
- Finish by sprinkling the last 1/2 cup of the cheese over the top then cover the pan with foil.
- Bake for 35 minutes. Remove the foil, return the pan to the oven, then bake for 10 additional minutes, until the casserole is hot and bubbly and the cheese is melted. Let rest 5 minutes. Serve hot with desired toppings.

Steps:
- Stir the chili and tomato sauce together in a mixing bowl.
- Take an 8"x8" microwave safe pan (you will need a 9"x9" pan if using the soft taco sized tortillas) and put a large spoonful of the chili mixture in the bottom of the pan. Add a tortilla on top. Place more chili mixture on the tortilla and spread it around. Sprinkle cheese on top. Add another tortilla on top and repeat with chili mixture and cheese and repeat this process until you are out of the chili mixture. You should get at least 8 layers. Take some leftover cheese and sprinkle it on top of the last tortilla.
- Cover and place in the refrigerator and let sit for at least 3 hours. If you can leave it over night that is best and allows the flavor to really come through.
- Prior to cooking take the pan out of the refrigerator and let it sit for 15-20 minutes. Place 4 toothpicks in the top so they are sticking out. Cover with parchment paper. The toothpicks will keep it from resting directly on the top tortilla.
- Heat in the microwave for 5 minutes at a time. Let sit for 2 minutes each time. It should take 15-20 minutes or 3 or 4 times in the microwave. You want the cheese melted and the casserole hot. Serve while hot. Makes great leftovers.

HEARTY TORTILLA CASSEROLE
Being single, I often halve this recipe to yield a meal for one plus a lunch I can take to work. When co-workers remark on how good it looks, I ask them over to try it, then pass along the recipe. It's hot but not overpowering. -Terri Nelson, Warren, Minnesota

HEARTY TACO CASSEROLE
When I didn't have time to prepare homemade tortillas one night, I used the dough to make the crust of this dish instead. Topped with taco fixings, it was an instant hit.-Krista Frank, Rhododendron, Oregon
