Looking for an awesome meal to make tonight? CHECK THIS OUT! This is a favorite recipe of my mom’s (as she says at the bottom), and it’s definitely delicious! It’s a Mexican dish, but a mighty tasty one! Try it!

Here is what you will need:

Ingredients
* Chicken tenders (fresh is better) about 2 lbs. more or less depending on how much meat you like.
* About 25-30 corn tortillas.
* 1 large can of green chile enchilada sauce.
* 1 can cream of chicken soup.
* 1 tub of 16 oz. sour cream.
* 1 small can chopped green chilies.
* 1 small can diced black olives.
* 1 large onion, chopped.
* 1 large block of cheddar cheese ( I used colby-jack).
* Cooking oil.
* Hot sauce of your choice.
* Salt, pepper, and/or garlic powder to taste.

How To Make:
If desired…. sprinkle salt, pepper and garlic between layers. Preheat oven to 350 F.

Step 1: Boil Chicken tenders in salted water, garlic and pepper for about 30 min. longer if frozen, when cool, cut up in chunks or shred.
Step 2: While chicken is cooking, using small fry pan, cook onion till tender.
Step 3: Grate cheese into bowl.
Step 4: In large bowl, combine Green chile sauce, 8 0z. of the Sour Cream and Cream of Chicken soup.
Step 5: Gather large cake pan or casserole pan and assemble ingredients close to each other for layering.
Step 6: Heat frying pan with cooking oil.
Step 7: When oil is hot, dip corn tortillas, one at a time for 3 sec. aprox. on both sides, to soften them.
Step 8: Put 6 tortillas on bottom of pan.
Step 9: Add layer of chicken, onions, green chilies, black olives, and about 1/4 cup sauce from large bowl. Sprinkle with a little cheese. (You will use most of it for the top)
Step 10: Continue cooking tortillas and layering till you have aprox. 3-4 layers, finishing with tortillas.
Step 11: Pour rest of sauce over top , add rest of cheese and sprinkle with black olives.
Step 12: Cook at 350 F uncovered for 30 minutes.

Top with Sour Cream and Hot sauce, if desired. Cut into squares and enjoy!

This recipe came from a friend of mine that served it when I went for a visit. I LOVE it! Delicious! I guess it isn’t new, because I found it in a cook book later, so just saying, it isn’t mine. But it’s great and my kids love it!
