Notes
- Cheese tortellini works best for this recipe. If you swap the meat for shredded chicken, chicken and cheese tortellini is a good match.
- You can add extra vegetables if you want. Black beans, ranch style beans, or corn all work well.
- Do not thaw the tortellini before adding it. It is meant to go in frozen and will cook through in the pot.
- You can control the spice level. For more heat, use a hotter Rotel or add hot sauce, red pepper flakes, fresh jalapenos, or cayenne. For no heat, replace the Rotel with petite diced tomatoes.
