- 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.

- 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.

MEXI CHICKEN OR TURKEY-SPINACH JALAPENO TORTILLA CASSEROLE
This casserole must prepared and baked right away as the tortilla chips will become soggy. If possible use Doritos brand cheese flavored tortilla chips for this. This can also be made using cooked turkey, make certain to hand-squeeze out as much excess moisture in the spinach as possible, for a milder spinach taste, boil the spinach in water for 10 minutes, cool and drain, then hand-squeeze out the moisture. The chicken soup mixture must be hot before using in this casserole, so that the oven-baking time will be less, this allows the tortilla chips to remain semi-crispy in the casserole, you can prepare it ahead of time, but you will need to reheat before using.

- Preheat oven to 375° and have ready a 9x13” greased baking dish. Have ready the cooked and shredded chicken, and set aside. Combine the Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese and set aside. Place the tortillas in a shallow dish (like a pie dish), and pour over 1 cup of chicken broth. Set aside and allow to soak.
- Add olive oil to a large rimmed sauté pan over medium-high heat and allow it to come to temperature. Add the onion and jalapeños and sauté until softened and onions are translucent, about 5-8 minutes.
- Sprinkle over the flour and stir until it coats vegetables. Very slowly drizzle in the remaining 4 cups of chicken broth, whisking constantly until the flour has completely dissolved and no lumps remain. Allow mixture to come to a boil, then reduce the heat to maintain a simmer for about 5 minutes (or until the mixture has thickened).
- Stir in the tomatoes and spices and allow to simmer for about 5 minutes more, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat.
