Here I have turned classic enchiladas into a layered dish, thereby relaxing the need for an exact count of how many enchiladas each person might want. This is one of those dishes I never make just a single recipe of. Either I make two and freeze one, or I double or triple the recipe for a crowd.
- ½ cup sour cream
- 2 cups shredded cheese
- 5 green onions, chopped
- 1 (10 oz) can enchilada sauce
- 8 tortillas
- 2 cups chopped, cooked chicken
- ½ tomato, chopped
- 8 black olives, sliced (optional)
Preheat oven to 350°.
In medium bowl, combine sour cream, cheese, and green onions. Pour enchilada sauce into a shallow dish. Cut tortillas into quarters.
Dip one-third of wedges into enchilada sauce, and layer in bottom of 2 qt casserole dish. Layer one-third of chicken on top of tortillas. Layer one-third of sour cream-cheese mixture on top of chicken.
Repeat layers two more times. Pour remainder of enchilada sauce on top. Top with chopped tomatoes and olives. Bake for 20-30 minutes, until bubbly in middle.
Serves 4-6.

This is quick and easy, and very tasty especially on a cold winter evening.
- 1 - 40 oz jar of Randall’s Great Northern Beans
- 1 - 16 oz jar of thick and chunky salsa (I prefer the medium level of spice, but can use any level one desires)
- 1 - 8 oz package of shredded Four Cheese Mexican Blend
- 2 or 3 chicken breasts (uncooked) cut into bite-sized chunks
Place all ingredients into a 4 quart slow cooker. Mix to combine. Cook on low for 5-6 hours or cook on high for 2-3 hours.
Serves 4. Serve with a salad for a complete meal.
All you have to do is choose one item from each of the following categories, and you’ve got a basic meal. Now you just have to decide how to cook it! For entertaining, add a starter, a salad, and a dessert.
