  • 1/2 medium-size red onion, chopped 
  • (4-ounce) can diced green chiles
  • 12 (6-inch) corn tortillas, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • (10 3/4-ounce) can cream of mushroom soup 
  • (2 1/4-ounce) can sliced ripe black olives 
  • 1 cup mild enchilada sauce
  • 1/2 cup sour cream 
  • (8-ounce) block sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded and divided 
  • Toppings: shredded lettuce, diced tomato, finely chopped red onion 

Preparation

  1. Cook first 3 ingredients in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring until beef crumbles and is no longer pink. Drain well.
  2. Place beef mixture in a large bowl. Stir in tortilla pieces, next 4 ingredients, and 1 cup cheese; spoon mixture into a lightly greased 11- x 7-inch baking dish. Sprinkle evenly with remaining 1 cup cheese.
  3. Bake at 400° for 20 to 25 minutes or until bubbly. Serve casserole with desired toppings.
