Basically a creamy chicken enchilada, but we like a lot of cheese and even more chicken. A casserole allows for more of each.

  • Combine sour cream, cream of chicken soup, diced tomatoes, green chiles, salsa, and salt in a large bowl. Spread 1/3 of the mixture in the bottom of the baking dish.

  • Lay 3 tortillas on top of the mixture. Split a fourth tortilla in half and place it on the sides, covering the mixture fully. Sprinkle 1/3 of the chicken, olives, Monterey Jack cheese, and queso fresco on top. Repeat twice more with remaining ingredients, ending with cheese on top.

  • Bake in the preheated oven until hot and bubbly, about 45 minutes.

Cook's Note:

You can and additional cup of Monterey Jack cheese instead of queso fresco, if preferred.

I like to use steamed or baked chicken.
