    Ingredients
    • 1 tbsp olive oil
    • 1 skinless/boneless chicken breast, cooked/shredded
    • 1 tsp chili powder
    • 1 tsp cumin
    • 1/2 tsp coriander
    • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
    • salt and pepper to taste
    • 1/2 onion chopped
    • 1/2 green pepper, chopped
    • 1/2 cup corn
    • 1 15oz can kidney beans, rinsed/drained
    • 1/2 jar RAGÚ® Old World Style® Traditional Sauce
    • 6 whole wheat tortillas, cut in half
    • 1 1/2 cups Mexican cheese blend, shredded
    Instructions
    1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and spray an 8x8 baking dish with cooking spray.
    2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil, and add the shredded chicken to the skillet. Season with chili powder, cumin, coriander, garlic powder and salt/pepper to taste, and cook for 2-3 minutes until seasoning is well blended.
    3. Add the onions, green pepper, corn, kidney beans and RAGÚ® Old World Style® Traditional Sauce and stir to combine.
    4. In the baking dish, layer 4 tortilla halves, making sure the straight part is along the edge of the baking dish.
    5. Add the shredded chicken mixture, then about ¼ cup cheese. Repeat a second layer of tortillas, chicken mixture and ¼ cup of cheese. Then add a third layer of tortillas and top with the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheese.
    6. Bake for 15 minutes until cheese is bubbly.
    7. Serve with sour cream, avocados, jalapenos and cilantro, if you desire.
    Tip: Dipping the tortillas in hot water or hot oil before layering in the baking dish helps to make sure the tortillas stay nice and soft while baking
