Add about half of sliced green onions, half of 2 fresh diced tomatoes, and half of olives. Top with layer of remaining tortillas and remaining sauce.

    Bake casserole, covered, at 350¡F. 25 minutes. Remove from oven; immediately add remaining cheese and vegetables. Bake uncovered another 10 to 15 minutes.

    Meanwhile, make guacamole: Mash avocado until smooth. Add lime juice, jalapeno, garlic, salt, pepper, remaining 1/4 cup diced tomato and cilantro.

    Remove casserole from oven; let set about 10 minutes. Serve garnished with sour cream and guacamole. Makes 8 to 10 servings.
