Chicken Enchiladas

Ingredients: 

2 cups diced cooked chicken
1/2 pound pork sausage
2 cups grated Cheddar cheese
2 cups grated Monterey jack cheese
7 ounce can artichoke hearts (not the marinated ones)
4 ounces salsa (your favorite)
1/4 cup diced green chiles
1 can pitted black olives (can buy pre-sliced or whole)
8 flour tortillas
16 ounce jar enchilada sauce (your favorite)
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 cup sour cream
Vegetable oil for frying
1 avocado for garnishing, sliced
1/2 red pepper, small diced for garnishing

Method: 

Brown the pork sausage and drain.
Drain and slightly chop the artichoke hearts - not too small.
Drain and slice the black olives.
Combine in large bowl: chicken, sausage, artichoke hearts, diced green chiles, half of the olives slices, and salsa.
Combine the cheeses in another bowl.
Heat oil in a skillet and lightly fry each flour tortilla so it is slightly crispy, but can still be rolled up. Stack between paper towels.

Making enchiladas:
Spread enchilada sauce liberally over each tortilla. Scoop about ¾ cup filling onto the center of each tortilla, and then add some grated cheese. Roll tightly up and set seam side down into lightly greased baking pan (9 x 13) or 2-inch hotel pan. Spread remaining sauce over all enchiladas then top with remaining cheese. Drizzle whipping cream over entire dish and let soak at least 1 hour, or overnight. Cover.

TO BAKE:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake covered with lid or foil 35-40 minutes until bubbly and hot. Garnish with sour cream, avocado, diced red pepper and black olives
