SUPER EASY CHEESY ENCHILADAS
When you don't have a lot of time or money. I made this for my family for around a dollar per serving. If the only Mexican food your kids will touch is cheese quesadillas (cheese melted on a tortilla), give this a try as a "step up". My picky picky DD was okay with cheese enchiladas when we told her it was cheese in a tortilla with a sauce on top. Now she has been known to eat spinach enchiladas and chicken enchiladas! :) She gave this recipe two thumbs up. :)

Steps:
- First, you want to mix the first four ingredients together until they are really well combined. Seriously, you will not see any little shreds of cheese and it will have the texture of stiff play dough (this is important).
- Preheat your oven to 350 and grab a pan. I used an 11x7 inch oval baking dish, but you can also use an 8inch square.
- Pour about 1/4 of the enchilada sauce into the bottom of the pan and swirl the pan until the bottom is coated.
- Reach in with your clean hands and grab about 2 tablespoons of cheese mixture in your hands and shape into a log. Roll a tortilla around this log and place in the pan. Repeat for the rest of the cheese and tortillas.
- Pour the rest of the sauce on top, spreading it to cover.
- Sprinkle the last 1/2 cup of cheese on top, and place in the oven. Bake 20-30 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
- For OAMC: Freeze before cooking, thaw in refrigerator and bake according to directions.

Filling: Mix the first five ingredients together in a large bowl. Add black olives, chicken and 11/2 cup cheddar cheese. Set aside Divide cream cheese into 10 parts and spread onto the 10 tortillas. Spoon a generous ½ cup filling down center of the tortilla. Fold the sides in and roll up. Arrange seam side down in pan. Pour reserved sauce over enchiladas. Cover with foil and bake in a 350 degree oven for 45 minutes, uncover, sprinkle with remaining cheese and bake another 20 minutes until cheese melts.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your enchiladas. Choose ripe tomatoes, fresh cilantro, and flavorful cheese.
- Don't overfill the tortillas: This will make them difficult to roll and they may fall apart. Aim for about 1/2 cup of filling per tortilla.
- Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the most important ingredients in enchiladas, so don't skimp on it. Use a cheese that melts well and has a good flavor, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, or queso Oaxaca.
- Don't overcook the enchiladas: Overcooked enchiladas will be dry and tough. Bake them just until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 15 minutes.
- Serve the enchiladas with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings include sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and Pico de Gallo.
