Follow The Directions

01

Step
0 mins

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

02

Step
7 mins

Heat oil in a large, oven proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add peppers and onions and cook, undisturbed, 5 minutes or until browned. Add chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt and pepper and continue cooking until vegetables are soft, stirring often, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove vegetables from the pan and set aside.

03

Step
4 mins

Add butter to the pan and melt over moderate heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add in tomatoes and broth and cook until thick and creamy, stirring constantly, about 3 minutes. Stir in chicken and beans. Top chicken mixture with 1 cup cheese. Spread reserved peppers and onions evenly over the cheese and top with chips and remaining cheese.

04

Step
15 mins

Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and lightly browned on top, about 15 minutes. Serve with desired toppings.

For an extra layer of smoky flavor, consider grilling the peppers and onions before slicing.
Feel free to substitute the pinto beans with black beans or your favorite type of legume.
If you don't have rotisserie chicken on hand, you can use cooked and shredded chicken breast.
For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of your favorite hot sauce to the vegetable mixture.
