2 cups Queso Fresco, crumbled
1 cup Crushed Tomatoes, canned
1 cup Cholula® Chipotle Hot Sauce

Procedure

Prep

Set oven to 375°F. In a bowl combine pasta, chicken, queso fresco, crushed tomatoes, Cholula®, poblanos, oil, salt, garlic, and oregano. Mix together until ingredients are evenly distributed.
Transfer to a hotel pan, top with mozzarella cheese, bake until cheese is melted and casserole has an internal temperature of 165°F.
Cool completely and cut into desired portions. Hold refrigerated for service.

Service

Set oven to 375°F. For each serving, bake-off one portion of pre-baked pasta. Bake until warmed through and cheese is golden brown. Serve hot with desired accompaniments.

Chef's Tip!

This dish can easily be plated in individual casserole dishes instead of a hotel pan and baked off for service.
