"I have been making a variation of this dish for years. Don't use olives, but do mix in garlic powder and either chili poder or caun seasoning into sour cream. I think it turns out better if you mix ..." See morethe rice into the sour cream, with about half the cheese, before turning it into the casserole dish. Then top with the remainder of the cheese.
