Start by showing all the ingredients for the casserole: cream of chicken, cream of mushroom, Fiesta nacho cheese Rotel, jalapenos, chicken broth, onions, rotisserie chicken, corn tortillas, roma tomatoes, mushrooms, green bell peppers, and olive oil.

Chop the mushrooms into medium-sized pieces, leaving some whole from the pack.

Chop three roma tomatoes into larger pieces for texture.

Roughly chop the green bell peppers, removing the seeds and flakes to reduce spice.

Peel and chop the yellow onions into similar-sized pieces as the other vegetables.

Chop one fresh jalapeno, leaving in the flakes for added spice.

Spray olive oil into a large pan and add the chopped mushrooms, onions, and green bell peppers to sauté.

Add pepper and garlic powder to the sautéing vegetables, followed by one tablespoon of salt, adjusting to taste.

Stir in cream of chicken, cream of mushroom, and Fiesta nacho cheese, mixing well.

Add one cup of chicken broth to the sauce and stir until well combined.

Once the vegetables are soft, add them to the sauce mixture.

Chop the rotisserie chicken into smaller pieces using a chopper.

Add the chopped tomatoes to the sauce mixture just before layering to prevent them from becoming mushy.

Chop about 15 corn tortillas into slices for easier serving.

Shred cheese for the casserole, using block cheese for better melting.

Begin layering the casserole by spraying the pan with butter spray, then adding a layer of tortillas to cover the bottom.

Spread sauce over the tortillas, followed by a layer of chicken and then cheese.

Repeat the layering process until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of cheese on top.

Sprinkle smoked paprika and parsley on top for decoration before baking.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) before placing the casserole inside.

Bake the casserole until heated through and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
