WHAT YOU'LL NEED

3-3 1/2 C Seasoned, cooked and shredded chicken, (we smoked ours. It made the taste pop)

Cheat: Buy a rotisserie chicken from the store and call it a day, love! ​
-

2 small onions, chopped
-
1 md green pepper, cored, chopped
-
3 mini sweet peppers
-
1-2 cans of corn ( 15 Oz depending on your preference)

For a thicker consistency, you can puree all the cans or puree one and ​keep the other (s) the same
-
-

-
1 1/2- 2 TBSP Chili Powder

-
1 Tsp Oregano
-
A pinch of black and red pepper
-
1 Tbsp olive or vegetable oil
OTHER OPTIONAL FLAVAS to SAVA (Not "flavor" or "savor". I did that on purpose. Try all or a few or even one. These seasons will make you kick somebody and scream, 'hallelujah!'

1 TBSP Dried Cilantro

1 Tsp Onion Powder
-
Can of Diced Tomatoes and Green Chili, mild (10 Oz)

(Viewer submitted, Steph S's pick: Cream Cheese to lessen the kick if you overdo it with the cayenne or just cream cheese - because, why not?)
