Recipe Challenge Day 5: Chicken Enchilada Casserole

This is a very quick an easy dinner for those busy nights. I like that you can do this with either left over chicken ( turkey would do in a pinch ) or buy a rotisserie chicken and shred the life out of it to make this. Layer your ingredients, stuff it in the oven dinner is ready in thirty minutes. No fuss, no fancy ingredients. A friend gave me this and it was so nice not to have to roll the tortillas, or dip them in sauce, make a big deal out of a dish that the whole family will like. It saved me time , and everyone liked it!

Ingredients

1.5 lbs chicken, cooked and shredded
1 can enchilada sauce
1/2 can corn
1/2 can black beans – rinsed
1/2 cup chopped onions
4  Tortillas ( I used GF ones it comes out so tasty!)
1 1/2 cups shredded cheese
1 jar sliced black olives, drained

Directions
Preheat oven to 350F
Pour a little of the sauce to the bottom of a foil lined 8×11 baking dish. Top it with two or three tortillas. Evenly layer the chicken on top of the tortillas Pour a little more sauce on top.
 Mix your beans, corn and onion together and spread it over the chicken. Layer with some of the cheese. Top with two or three more tortillas and more sauce. Top with the cheese and optional black sliced olives on top.

Cook for about 30 minutes or until cheese is all melted and dish is heated through.

Enjoy!
