Candy got this recipe from one of those little paper recipe books you can buy at the check-out... it quickly became a family favorite. Note: I have this aversion to canned chicken so I always boiled and shredded my own, but I'm told the canned chicken was fine.
Ingredients:
1 medium onion, chopped
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 cups cooked chicken, shredded
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (1 1/4 ounce) package taco seasoning
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 dozen corn tortilla
2 (2 1/4 ounce) cans black olives, sliced
3 cups monterey jack cheese, shredded
Directions:
1. Saute onion in oil.
2. Add chicken, tomato sauce, tomatoes, taco seasoning and garlic powder and blend well.
3. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes uncovered.
4. In 13X9X2 inch glass dish, place 4 tortillas, followed by 1/3 of chicken mixture and spread evenly. Sprinkle 1/3 of olives and 1/3 of cheese.
5. Repeat with layers until you have a topping of cheese.
6. Bake at 350-F for 30-40 mins until heated through and cheese is melted.
