Arrange slices from second can and remaining 4 slices from first can (total of 24 slices), slightly overlapping each other and in counterclockwise direction, close to but not overlapping first ring. Remove custard cup from center of wreath shape.
    3. Bake at 375 F. for 15 to 18 minutes or until light golden brown. Gently loosen wreath from cookie sheet; carefully slide onto wire rack. Cool 30 minutes or until completely cooled.
    4. Meanwhile, cover chipotle chiles with water; let stand 10 to 15 minutes. Drain; finely chop. In medium bowl, combine chiles, sour cream, chopped cilantro, mayonnaise, sugar, salt and cumin; mix well.
    5. Place cooled wreath on serving tray or platter. Spread sour cream mixture over wreath. Decorate with olives, avocado, tomato, cheese and cilantro leaves. Place salsa in small bowl; place in center of wreath. Store in refrigerator.
