I picked up a can of El Pato Green Enchilada Sauce and made some cheese enchiladas New Mexico style (not rolled). They came out great, though a a bit spicy.
Spray a casserole dish with cooking spray to ease clean up and serving. Spoon some sauce in the bottom, Place a layer of tortillas. (A round dish works best or cut the tortillas in half and arrange in a rectangular dish to cover the surface.) Add a generous layer of grated cheese and chopped onions. Black olives are an option as are diced chiles. Spoon more sauce over the cheese, Place another layer of tortillas, add cheese and any optional items and then repeat until the casserole dish is full,. Top with sauce and grated cheese. Cook covered for 45 minutes to an hour. Cook uncovered until the top is as browned as you like, Serve with rice and beans as desired.
You can add cooked ground beef, diced chicken or pork to each layer if you like. You can also do the same process with red enchilada sauce if you prefer. I usually use cheddar or Mexican blend shredded cheese but jack, colby, pepper jack, etc all work well.
Add - cooking temp is 350 degrees. Sorry about that!
