- Grease a baking dish, line 5 tortillas on the bottom then layer the other ingredients; chicken mixture, olives, roughly 1/2 of the enchilada sauce and cheese.
- Repeat layering twice (or until you use up all your ingredients).
- You want your last layers to be sauce and cheese so you get a nice bubbly top on the dish.

Im a mother of 2 kids, I love cooking! My father was a chef and taught me most of what I know about cooking. My boyfriend is also a chef who went to cooking school in the Bahamas so we like to use Caribbean flavors in our meals. We live in Hawaii which is definately a melting pot for all kinds of foods, my cooking is usually a blend of Pacific flavors, Caribbean heat and southern down home goodness!
