  • Bake tortillas in the preheated oven until crisp and lightly browned, 6 to 8 minutes.

  • While tortillas are baking, combine tomato, green onions, lime juice, and cilantro in a bowl; set aside.

  • Mix cream cheese and chipotle pepper in a separate bowl until well blended. Remove tortillas from the oven. Spread mixture over tortillas; top with chicken and cheese.

  • Return tortillas to the oven and continue baking until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. Top with the tomato mixture, olives, and sour cream.

Cook's Note:

Leftover canned chipotle peppers can be spooned into airtight container, or into ice cube trays, and frozen up to several months. Thaw in refrigerator overnight before using as directed. If freezing in ice cube trays, transfer frozen cubes to a freezer-proof resealable plastic bag, then seal bag and store in freezer until ready to use.
