Method
Saute onion in two tablespoons olive oil for a few minutes, then add saugage and simmer on low for 15 minutes. Toss in chicken and gently combine until warm. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
Cut up or break into small pieces the cream cheese. Add to the cooled mixture along with half of the sliced black olives and toss gently so the cheese remains in pieces.
In a wide, shallow pan, warm enchilada sauce and cream of mushroom soup, blending well. Remove from heat and add 1/2 cup of sour cream, blending well.
Prepare a large flat baking pan; rub the bottom and sides with olive oil.
Dip one side of a tortilla into the warm sauce. Lay the tortilla down with the dipped side up, add some chicken/chorizzo mixture and roll it up. Lay seam side down in the baking pan. Repeat until you fill the pan or use all the tortillas!
Top with all the remaining sauce, the shredded Monterey cheese, the almond slivers and the remaining sliced olives.
Bake covered in a 350 degree oven for 40 minutes. Remove from oven and let sit, covered, at room temperature for 10 minutes.
Serve each enchilada with a spoonful of sour cream.
