Helen's Fabulous Enchiladas

Total Time: 50 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

  • 30 corn tortillas
  • 16 ounces enchilada sauce (use 2 cans, i use el paso red sauce and it's great!)
  • 2 bunches green onions (scallions)
  • 2 (3 7/8 ounce) cans of sliced black olives
  • 24 ounces mexican blend cheese, i buy mine at costco (shredded)
  • 3 cups shredded chicken, i use meat, this is option if you want to make just cheese enchiladas

Recipe

  • 1 this is a simple, layered recipe:.
  • 2 add enough enchilada sauce to coat the bottom of cooking container with enchilada sauce. (you can make this using small pie tins, casserole dishes, or any other similar bakeware.).
  • 3 place tortillas on top of sauce - one layer, and you can split them up to make sure you have a full layer.
  • 4 sprinkle on a scattering of the scallions.
  • 5 sprinkle on a scattering of black olives.
  • 6 scatter chicken around layer - amount to your taste.
  • 7 sprinkle on a healthy layer of cheese.
  • 8 scoop enchilada sauce onto layer, enough to thoroughly coat the layer.
  • 9 continue in this fashion until you reach the top layer. on the very top layer, i only use the sauce and cheese, and top with a line of scallions and black olives in a line down the center for color.
  • 10 preheat oven to 350 degrees, and cook for 30 minutes, or until cheese is fully melted.
  • 11 you can also prepare this in a crock pot. i did this for the first time this week and cooked on high for 2 hours - it came out great! these are not traditional rolled enchiladas - the layering is identical to lasagna, but the flavor is great.
