Place the tomatoes, water, vinegar, olive oil, chili powder, onion powder, cumin, oregano, salt and pepper into a blender. Blend until smooth. Remove from blender and set aside.
Preheat oven to 350°F and spread the vegetable oil on the bottom of a 9”x 13” baking pan.
Spread 1/3 of the enchilada sauce on the bottom and place the toast in two rows of 8 on top so they fit snuggly beside each other.
In a medium bowl, toss the chicken, corn, sweet pepper and 1 cup of the cheese together with another 1/3 of the sauce.
With a spoon, tuck 2 to 3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture between each toast, pushing the mixture as close to the bottom as possible. Drizzle the remaining enchilada sauce over top of the toast.
Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the sauce. Top with the red onion on one side if using and loosely cover with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes.
Remove foil and bake for another 10 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the tops of the toast are crispy and lightly golden brown.
Adults version: Top with green onion slices, pickled jalapeños and cilantro after baking.
Kids version: Sprinkle the red and green pepper over top.
Serve with toppings the family enjoys and can customize to their preference, such as sour cream, avocado, lime, more pickled jalapeños, and red onion.
