Chicken Enchilada Hotdish (Kristi Original)

Tonight my son wanted Chicken Enchiladas, but we did not have any tortillas. Instead I created this hotdish. 

Ingredients

2 Cans of Refried Beans

2 Cans of Enchilada Sauce

2 Cups of Shredded Mexican or Cheddar Cheese (You can do more if you like)

1 Small Can of Sliced Black Olives

1/2 Bag of Tortilla Chips

1 Can of Diced Tomatoes and Green Chilies (My son would prefer me to leave out the tomatoes though my husband and I liked them)

2 Cans of Chicken (Or Shredded chicken)

1/2 Onion Diced

1 Tbsp of Butter

Cumin

Cayenne Pepper 

Instructions

1. Saute the Onion with a sprinkle of Cumin in the melted Butter over a medium heat until it is cooked.

2. Take a 9 x 13 pan and layer the following ingredients spread out evenly

• Smash the 2 cans of Refried Beans across the bottom of the pan
• Cooked Onion
