Chicken Enchilada Casserole

This recipe is one of my family's favorites.  Although, my oldest daughter complains that she doesn't like it and then proceeds to eat seconds.  I call it a casserole instead of just "enchiladas" because everything is just layered in there like a lasagne-  I don't have time to fill and roll individual enchiladas for eight people.  If you want to put it together in individual enchiladas, go for it.  You'd just roll the beans, chicken, and olives up inside the tortillas and add the sauce and cheese over the top.

Chicken Enchilada Casserole

2 lbs chicken breasts
12 corn tortillas
2 10oz cans red enchilada sauce
2 cans black beans, drained
1 can black olives, sliced
3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
sour cream
Cube chicken and cook in a little oil over medium heat.  Spread 1/2 can sauce in bottom of 9x13 pan.  Arrange 4 tortillas over sauce.  Top with half of the chicken, half of the olives, 1 can of the beans, 1 cup cheese, and a half can of the sauce.  Add 4 more tortillas, remaining chicken and olives, another can of beans, 1 cup cheese and a half can of sauce.  Top with remaining tortillas, sauce and cheese.  Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until heated through.  Serve with sour cream.

Enjoy!
