Place 4 tortillas in the bottom of a 2-quart casserole coated with cooking spray. Spoon 2 cups chicken mixture over tortillas. Repeat layers twice, ending with chicken mixture. Sprinkle with BelGioioso Asiago cheese and chips. Bake at 350F for 30 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. Serves 8.

Peperoncino™ Cheese Twists

1-17 1/4 oz. package frozen puff pastry sheets

1 egg beaten with 1 Tbsp. water

2-3 Tbsp. BelGioioso Peperoncino™, grated

Poppy seed

Thaw 1 sheet puff pastry for 20 minutes and unfold. On a lightly floured surface, roll sheet 14"x10". Cut in half lengthwise to make two rectangles. Brush each rectangle with egg and sprinkle one with BelGioioso Peperoncino™ cheese and the other with poppy seed. Sandwich rectangles together, making sure the egg-brushed sides are in the center.

 

Roll gently with a rolling pin to make pastry stick together. Cut pastry crosswise into 1/2" strips. Brush with more egg and sprinkle with poppy seed. Twist strips into corkscrew shapes and put on baking sheet. Bake at 400F for 10-12 minutes or until puffed and golden brown. Makes 28 twists.
