Chicken Tortilla Casserole
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In small skillet, heat tortillas, one at a time, over low heat until softened, about 30 seconds per side. Set aside. In large bowl, combine sour cream, cumin, chili powder, and salt; stir until well blended. Stir in scallion and chicken. Spread 1/2 cup of the taco salsa into the bottom of a 11 X 7 inch baking disk. Cut 2 tortillas into quarters. Using 4 quarters of one tortilla, place the point of each quarter in the corner of the baking dish. Layer 3 more whole tortillas in dish. Spread half of the chicken mixture over the tortillas. Spoon 1/2 cup of the taco into dish, spreading evenly. Add 3/4 cup of cheese, sprinkled evenly. Layer remaining tortillas as before. Top with remaining chicken and taco salsa. Cover and bake 20 minutes. Remove cover, sprinkle with remaining 3/4 cup cheese, and bake 20 minutes longer. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting. Garnish with avocado slices and olives.
