Green chili Enchiladas

I usually make 1 pyrex pan, (about 8-10 tortillas)


Ingredients:
2-3 chicken breasts
8-10 flour tortillas
2 cups shredded cheese (I like to use 1 package Kraft 4 cheese Mexican blend)
1 small can Ortega diced green chiles
1 can (28 oz.) Las Palmas Green chile Enchilada sauce
Black Olives sliced


Directions:
Boil chicken, wait for it to cool and shred into fairly small pieces. Add approx 1 Tablespoon worth of chicken on tortilla (too much will make it less cheesy) and spread out in a line on one side. Then sprinkle a good helping of cheese on top of chicken. Sprinkle a bit of diced green chiles on top of the cheese, and roll the tortilla. Put seam down in pan and tuck edges of tortilla down if necessary. Do this with each tortilla until the pan is tight with tortillas. Sprinkle a bit of chicken, the rest of the cheese, and the rest of the diced green chiles on top. Pour over entire can of enchilada sauce. Add sliced black olives on top. 

I usually take a spoon to tuck the end of each tortilla under, making sure the sauce goes a bit underneath. You want to make sure that the enchiladas are not floating but tight enough that some of the sauce stays on top of the enchiladas as well.

Bake on 350 for about 30 min or until top is golden brown and bubbling.
