top ideas for dinner tonight

• Salmon with Red Cabbage

Mexican-flavored casserole that your family will love. Cream of chicken soup makes a rich, creamy, and flavorful sauce, when combined with tomatoes, peppers, onion and chili powder. Spoon the sauce between layers of tortillas, cooked chicken, and cheddar cheese for an easy weeknight meal that's brimming with south-of-the-border flavors. A refreshing vegetable salad is all you'll need alongside.

Ingredients

• 2 10-3/4-ounce cans reduced-sodium condensed cream of chicken soup
• 1 10-ounce can diced tomatoes with green chiles, undrained
• 3/4 cup chopped green sweet pepper
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
