Preparation:

Cooking part
- One thing you will notice in all my recipes is that I use no oil whatsoever. None. I always use cooking spray. Today you can pick from several varieties in your local grocery store.  Also, you will want to use the spray generously, otherwise you will have a hot sticky mess.  But I never do.  I'm always spraying.

- With temperature on medium-heat, spray the frying pan generously with cooking spray and allow to get hot before adding your onions and bell peppers.  Spray some more cooking spray and stir-fry for 5 minutes, spray some more cooking spray, add your tomato, garlic, salt and let fry for another 3 minutes before adding your can of Rotel.  Cover, reduce to low and let simmer for 5 minutes.  Really, all your doing is spraying stir-frying and spraying. lol.

- Once done divide into 4 equal servings. [see picture above]

Dish Preparation Part
- Preparing a dish is pretty simple.  Rinse and dry your frying pan, and spray cooking spray generously. Place on medium-heat and stir-fry 1/2 cup of  corn for a minute, throw in 1/4th of the vegetable mixture, 4 oz. of chicken, and stir-fry for an additional 3 minutes.  Add 16 corn chips and 6 oz. of cheese sauce to the pan, and mix all ingredients well.  Pour onto serving dish or plate.
