Ingredients:

Serving

1 tbsp vegetable oil
2 cups yellow onions, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 (15 oz) cans tomato sauce
1 3/4 cups chicken broth, rich
4 oz green chilies, diced
2 tsp chili powder
2 tsp dried basil
3/4 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
12 corn tortillas
4 cups chicken breasts, cooked and cubed
4 cups cheddar cheese, grated
1 cup pitted black olives
light sour cream , for passing on the side

Directions:

In a large pan, over medium heat, warm oil. Add onions and garlic and saute until tender, about 5 minutes.
Add tomato sauce, stock, chilies, seasonings, and sugar. Bring to a boil, reduce temperature, and simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes.
In a 9 x 13 baking dish lightly coated with cooking spray or oil, place 6 tortillas so that they overlap slightly.
Add half the chicken, half the sauce, half the cheese, and all the olives. Repeat the first 3 layers.
Cover and refrigerate several hours or overnight. Bring to room temperature before baking.
Preheat oven to 375*F. Bake, loosely covered with aluminum foil, until heated through and bubbly, 45-50 minutes.
Remove foil during last 10 minutes of baking time. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
Pass the sour cream. Serves 10 to 12.
