  • 2 cups sour cream
  • 1- 7 oz can green chilis
  • 1 can olives sliced leave 8 out, cut in half for garnish
  • 3 cups shredded jack cheese plus extra for topping
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 3 garlic gloves diced
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray two 9x13 baking dishes with cooking spray.

  • Divide the remaining enchilada sauce and pour on top of the enchiladas, trying to cover all parts of the tortilla. Top enchiladas with shredded cheese. Place 1/2 olive on top of each enchilada. Loosely cover with foil
