Wonder if I can skip the extra seasonings and mix enchilada sauce with the tomatoes instead. Maybe add some mexi-seasoned chicken to the layers -- Yum!

Sounds like you're on the right track! I thought about layering in some sliced black olives and onions, then topping it off with sour cream before I dig in. I know my Husband is gonna need some kind of a hot thing going on too. Sounds like my new week-end expirament dinner.
