Ingredients

  • 4 cups leftover roast, shredded
  • 28 oz can red chili sauce, or enchilada sauce
  • 6.5 can black olives, sliced, divided
  • 4 oz can diced green chilies

  • 12 corn tortillas
  • Optional: avocado, cilantro, green onions, additional sour cream

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350° and spray a 3 quart baking dish with a non stick spray. Set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan, add shredded roast, ½ of the black olives, diced green chilies, ⅓ of red chili sauce. Heat over low flame until hot.
  • In another saucepan, heat ⅓ of sauce just until warmed then dip each tortilla into the sauce making sure each is covered in sauce.
  • Place a layer of tortillas in the bottom of the baking dish.
  • Spoon ½ meat mixture, ½ sour cream, ⅓ grated cheese onto tortillas.
  • Add another layer of tortillas, remaining meat mixture, sour cream and sprinkle with another ⅓ grated cheese.
  • Next, place remaining tortillas, cheese, and pour the remaining red chili sauce, and any sauce left in the saucepan, over the cheese.
  • Top with black olives.
  • Cover with lid, or foil, and bake for 45 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Remove from oven and top with sour cream, cilantro, green onions and avocado if desired.
  • Enjoy!
