2 tbsp. instant minced onion

Pour sauce into 2-cup measure, leaving 2 to 3 tablespoons in baking dish. Layer half the shredded tortillas, half the chicken cubes, half the olives and half the sauce in baking dish. Repeat layers. Sprinkle with cheese. Casserole can be made ahead to here. Increase time in following step 7 to 8 minutes.

Microwave (high), uncovered, 6 to 7 minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted, rotating dish once. Garnish with green onions.

This easy casserole can be made ahead and refrigerated for a Mexican dinner in minutes.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
