Mexican Lasagna

This Minnesota Mexican dish was, naturally, picked up at a potluck that my mom went to. It's part enchilada, part hotdish, which equals one satisfying meal. I love the texture of the baked corn tortillas and the cream of mushroom base brings me back home to the cream-of-something-inspired dishes that my mom frequently made. There are quite a bit of olives in this dish but if you don't like them I think they could easily be omitted. Don't forget to top it with all of your favorite taco toppings i.e. lettuce, tomatoes, taco sauce, sour cream, avocados, green chilies, etc. Ole!
