Ingredients

• 1 (28 oz.) can of Las Palmas red chili sauce (Do not substitute enchilada sauce)
• 1 (28 oz.) can of Las Palmas green chili enchilada sauce (28 oz. of mild green salsa verde may be substituted)
• 1 1/2-2 pounds ground venison, elk or antelope
• 2 pounds Sharp Cheddar cheese
• 3 (4.25 oz.) cans of chopped black olives
• 12 large flour tortillas
• 3-4 bunches of green onions

Clean and chop onions and put into a serving bowl.

In a separate large bowl combine sauces. Grate cheese and put 1/2 into another large bowl Fry meat until cooked and drain off any liquids.

Add meat to the cheese bowl. Put in the olives and mix the 3 together to form a paste. Add a little of the sauce to a pan that is about 16" x 11" and at least 2 1/2" deep to wet the bottom. One at a time, dip a tortilla into sauce then lay into pan and roll up with 1/12 meat/cheese/olive mixture. Arrange all 12 in the pan then pour remaining sauce evenly over the top. Take the remaining cheese and sprinkle over the top. Bake (uncovered) for 30 to 35 minutes at 350 degrees. Serve hot with onions over the top.
