In large skillet over medium heat, saut?first seven ingredients. Simmer over low heat for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, in medium bowl, combine sour cream, Cheddar cheese and 1 cup hot pepper jack cheese. Place one tortilla in casserole dish and cover with 1/5 of the chicken mixture, cup corn and 1/4 of the sour cream mixture. Repeat layers three more times. On top of last tortilla, place remaining chicken mixture and cup Monterey jack cheese. Bake for 35 minutes until light brown and bubbly.
