Number Of Ingredients 10

4 oz sour cream
1/2 cup low-fat small curd cottage cheese
1 tsp garlic salt
12 oz of flaked tuna, drained well (2 cans)
10 oz green chile enchilada sauce, divided
1/4 c chopped green onions
1/4 c black olives, sliced
1-1/2 c shredded Mexican blend cheese (cheddar and pepper jack), divided
8 crisp flat corn tortilla shells
1 roma tomato, seeded and diced

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • In a medium bowl, combine 5 oz of green chile sauce, sour cream, cottage cheese, and garlic salt. Add flaked tuna and mix gently to avoid breaking up the fish too much.
  • Stacking:
  • Pour 2-1/2 oz of green chile enchilada sauce in the bottom of the baking dish. Add two shells, overlapping if necessary.
  • Divide the tuna filling into 3 and olives/onions/cheese into 4th. Layer the first third of tuna mixture, then onion, cheese, and olives on top of the tortillas. Repeat 2 more times and end with two shells. Cover with the last 2-1/2 oz of green chile enchilada sauce, cheese, olives, and onions.
  • Bake uncovered at 350°F for 30 minutes or until bubbly (cover if it starts to brown too quickly).
  • Top with tomatoes and last of the onions, cheese, and olives before serving.
  • Serve with a green salad and Spanish rice.
