  • 12 corn tortillas
  • salad oil
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 2 cups sour cream
  • 4 tablespoons minced green onion

Instructions

  1. Combine the cooked chicken, chopped olives, chopped almonds, and enough heated enchilada sauce to moisten (about 1/3 cup); set aside.
  2. Fry the corn tortillas in salad oil until soft and lightly browned.
  3. Dip the fried tortillas into the heated enchilada sauce to coat.
  4. Evenly spoon the chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla.

  7. Pour the remaining heated enchilada sauce over the top of the rolled enchiladas.
  8. Sprinkle shredded sharp Cheddar cheese evenly over the sauce-covered enchiladas.
  9. Bake uncovered in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until heated through and cheese is bubbly.
  10. Meanwhile, mix sour cream with minced green onion to make a topping.
  11. Serve the hot enchiladas topped with the sour cream mixture.
