Preheat
the oven to

enchilada sauce into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Add the tater tot
mixture to the baking dish and lightly pat the mixture down into a solid, even
layer. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the tater tots.
Place
into the oven
and bake at 375 degrees for 40 minutes. During the last few minutes of baking,
top the casserole with the remaining Mexican cheese blend and the sliced black
olives. Return to the oven and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
