How to Make Quick Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed chicken soup, 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chiles (undrained), 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, and 2 cups shredded cooked chicken.
  3. Lightly fry or warm 12 corn tortillas until soft and pliable. (Alternatively, you can quickly microwave tortillas wrapped in a damp paper towel for 30 seconds to soften)
  4. In a lightly greased 13x9 inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of the chicken mixture. Layer with 6 tortillas, overlapping slightly. Repeat layers with remaining chicken mixture and tortillas. Top with 1/2 cup sliced olives.
  5. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the enchiladas are lightly browned on top.
