Recipe makes 12-15 enchiladas.
Equipemnt: 13x9x3" Baking Pan (or 9x9 square baking dish, makes
about 8 enchiladas)

Ingredients:
1 Whole Roasted Chicken (purchased or home roasted) OR 3 Large
Chicken Breasts Shredded and Cubed
1 Large Can GREEN Enchilada Sauce (Homemade Sauce recipe
available)
Approx 15 Corn Tortillas
Olive or Veggie Oil Spray
2 C Shredded Cheese (Mexi Blend, Cheddar, Jack, or a combo!)
Black Olives (ooptional)
1 small can green diced chilis (optional)

PREP
Preheat oven to WARM
Shed and Chop Chicken, season with s&p if needed and set aside in a
bowl. (Chicken can be either warm or straight from the fridge.)
Place Shredded Cheese in another bowl
Heat can of sauce on LOW on stove and keep warm in pan. (You can
add half the can of green chilies at this point if you'd like. Keep the
other half in a small bowl.)
Add one Big Spoonful of sauce and chilies to the chicken and mix up.
Put your olives in a small dish if using.

TORTILLAS: Place about 5 or 6 at a time on a cookie sheet and spray
both sides with oil spay. Bake for 2-3 minutes (ON WARM-150) on
each side until warm and pliable. Stack on a plate lined with a clean
towel, wrap to keep them warm. When tortillas are done, turn oven
up to 350.
Spray your pan with the oil spray and put about an 1/8 of a cup of the
sauce in the bottom of your pan.

NOW YOU'RE READY TO ROLL!
Surround yourself with your bowls of filling.
Working on a plate, place one tortilla in the center.
Put a spoonful of chicken in the middle, top with a little cheese, an
olive and a few more chilies if desired.
Roll. Place seam side down in pan.
Continue until pan is full, you may need a few more of less tortillas
depending on how tightly rolled, how full, etc... your enhiladas turn out.
Pour sauce over enchiladas to get in all the cracks! Save a little for
serving.
Top with remaining cheese.
Cover with Foil and Bake in 350 preheated oven for 30-45 minutes
until heated through. Remove foil and cook an additional 10 minutes
until cheese is totally bubbly and happy!
YOU MUST LET THESE SET BEFORE YOU CUT INTO THEM! It
will be hard, but PLEASE let them sit on the counter, loosely covered
for at least 10 minutes. Prepare your condiments while they set up.
You can garnish your enchiladas with black olives, sour cream, green
onion, shredded lettuce and more sauce!!

Keep Experimenting and TAKE NOTES as you go for next time!
