- Use two forks to pull the chicken apart into shreds. When all the chicken is shredded return to pot. Slowly simmer in broth for 10 minutes more (to infuse with more flavor). Drain chicken in colander And get ready to assemble!

- Place two tortillas on sauce, overlapping in the middle. Spread half of the shredded chicken on top of tortillas. Pour 1/2 of remaining enchilada sauce from the large can over chicken. Sprinkle 1 cup of cheese over sauce.
- Repeat tortillas, chicken, sauce, cheese in same order once more, using the remaining chicken and last 1/2 of large can of sauce.
- Top with last 2 tortillas, tucking edges down into dish on all sides. Sprinkle remaining cheese over top, then pour the entire small can of sauce over cheese to coat evenly. Lastly add black olives, if desired.
