Mild Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas are a popular Mexican-inspired dish that is served worldwide. These enchiladas are filled with juicy chicken, tangy tomatoes, and creamy sour cream all wrapped in a warm flour tortilla. The mild flavor makes them perfect for people who cannot handle high spice levels or for families with young children who may not be able to handle heat well. This dish is perfect for a casual weeknight dinner or for entertaining guests.

Instructions

1.	Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2.	In a medium bowl, mix together chicken, onion, 2 cups of Cheddar cheese, and sour cream.
3.	Divide the mixture evenly among the flour tortillas; roll each tortilla around the filling and place seam-side down in a baking dish.
4.	Top with remaining Cheddar cheese, chopped tomatoes, and black olives.
5.	Bake uncovered for 20 to 25 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
