Preparation method

Prep: 25 mins | Cook: 30 mins

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and coat a 9×13-inch glass baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
2. In a skillet, cook chopped chicken until no longer pink in the middle, about 10 minutes. Add onion and garlic.
3. To make the enchilada filling: in a mixing bowl, combine sour cream, cream cheese, grated cheese, green chiles, olives, cumin, and pepper. Mix in cooked meat.
4. To make the cream cheese sauce: in a separate bowl, combine cream cheese, cream of chicken soup, green chiles, and milk. Spread 1/3 of this mixture on bottom of prepared baking dish.
5. Warm the tortillas for 1 minute in microwave on High. Then, fill each tortilla with about 1/3 cup of the meat sauce. Wrap up the tortillas by folding two ends in over the meat, then rolling up tight.
6. Place stuffed tortillas snugly in the pan over the layer of cream cheese sauce and top with remaining sauce.
7. Cook enchiladas uncovered in the oven for 15 minutes, until sauce is bubbly. Remove from oven, sprinkle with remaining cheese and olives, then return to oven for 5 minutes until cheese is melted.Vegetarian Substitution

To make these enchiladas vegetarian, simply omit meat and fill enchiladas with the sour cream and cheese mixture.
