- 1 can 10 oz Ro-Tel diced tomatoes with green chilies

-
Use Rotisserie Chicken: Save time by using a store-bought chicken. It is already cooked and very flavorful.
-
Spice it Up: Add diced jalapeños if you want more heat. You can also use "Hot" Ro-Tel instead of original.
-
Tortilla Choice: Corn tortillas provide the best traditional flavor. Flour tortillas work too but they will be much softer.
-
Veggie Boost: Stir in some frozen corn or black beans. This adds more color and extra nutrition to the meal.
-
Low Fat Version: Use low-sodium soups and low-fat cheese. It still tastes great and is lighter for the heart.
