I haven't tried this yet, but it's had great reviews. Apparently, it has a real tomatoey taste which many people loved. A few others opted to cut down on the tomato taste a little by omitting the tomato sauce. In addition, some people doubled the sauce.

TOMATO ENCHILADA BAKE (Chicken)

3 cups cooked chicken meat

1 cup sour cream

1 (14.5) ounce can diced tomatoes OR 1 can whole peeled tomatoes, drained and chopped

1 teaspoon chili powder, or more

1/4 cup chopped onion

2 green onions, chopped

1 tomato, diced

1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce (optional)

1/2 cup salsa

2 teaspoons chili powder, or more

1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

1/4 teaspoon dried parsley

6 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese

1 (2 ounce) can chopped black olives, drained

8 (8 inch) corn or flour tortillas

Directions

1. In a large bowl combine the chicken, sour cream, canned diced tomatoes, 1 teaspoon

chili powder, chopped onion, green onion, and fresh diced tomato. Mix well and set

aside.

2. In a medium saucepan combine tomato sauce, salsa, 2 teaspoons chili powder, oregano and parsley. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.

3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

4. Lightly brown tortillas before baking - can heat briefly in dry pan over medium, around 10 seconds per side.

5. Fill tortillas with chicken mixture and fold together, laying snugly in a lightly

greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Pour simmered sauce over the top, then sprinkle with

shredded cheese and chopped olives.

6. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes, or until cheese is melted and

bubbly.

Makes 4 servings.

 
You're welcome. You may want to add some extra spices, such as cumin powder, garlic powder, etc!

 
P.S. Corn tortillas should work better than flour tortillas, ie, won't be as soggy.

I really have to try this recipe out for myself one of these days!
