Chicken Chilaquiles

Here's a great Southwestern chicken casserole. What makes this sooooo easy is using store bought rotisserie chicken. This is a little spicy. If you would like it even spicier, add 1/4 tsp ground red pepper to tomatillo mixture. To lessen the spice, use Monterey Jack cheese without jalapeno peppers. Either way you like it, this is sure to please the pallet!!!
