1 can chicken broth

1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can cut up tomatoes
1 can chopped green chilis
1 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon cumin seed
Salt and pepper
1 pound Sharp cheddar cheese (grated)
1 bag tortilla chips (the saltier the better)

Lightly saute chopped green peppers and onions in 2 to 3 tablespoons of butter, in large skillet.

Cut chicken into small pieces while above is sauteing. Put in with onions and peppers.

Also add chili powder, oregano, cumin seeds, salt, and pepper.

Cook until chicken is done.

Add the rest of the ingredients (except for the cheese and chips) and warm over stovetop.

Arrange in 2 layers the chips, then mixture, then cheese.

Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes. (do not cover)
