Saute the onions, celery, bell pepper and garlic

In a separate bowl, mix the soups, mushrooms, spices and chicken. Add sautéed vegetables. Add 1/2 can of the Rotel tomatoes (drained). Stir well. Diced Jalapeño peppers can be added to taste.

Begin layering in a 9x13 casserole pan. Cover the bottom with a layer of the soup mixture. Next add a layer of the tortillas. Dip the tortillas in the chicken stock to add moisture before layering. Next, layer with the soup mix, then a layer of cheese (both kinds), then tortillas again, soup mix, etc. Continue for 3 or so layers until all are used up. Top with the last of the cheese. Sprinkle the other half of the Rotel tomatoes on top for looks.

Bake for 40-45 minutes at 350ºF, uncovered until top is golden. Let rest 10 minutes and serve.
