SPICY CHICKEN ENCHILADAS

Filling:
- 1-1/2 cups shredded skinless roasted chicken
- 4-ounce can chopped green chilies
- 1/4 cup nonfat or light sour cream
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cumin

- 8 thin corn tortillas (6-inch rounds)
- 1-3/4 cups enchilada sauce, heated
- 1 cup shredded reduced-fat Monterey Jack or Mexican-blend cheese

Toppings:
- 1/2 cup nonfat or light sour cream
- 1/4 cup finely chopped scallions or fresh cilantro

Directions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

Combine all of the filling ingredients in a
bowl and toss to mix well. Set aside.

Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and
preheat over medium heat. Place a tortilla in the pan
and heat for 10 to 15 seconds on each side, until the
tortilla is pliable enough to roll up.

Lay the tortilla on a flat surface and spread 1/4 cup of the
filling along one end. Roll the tortilla up to enclose the filling.

Coat a 9x13-inch pan with nonstick cooking spray and lay
the enchilada in the pan, seam side down. Repeat with the
remaining tortillas, leaving a 1/4-inch space between the
enchiladas to prevent them from sticking together.

Pour the sauce over the enchiladas, covering them completely.
Bake uncovered for 8 minutes. Sprinkle the cheese over the top
and bake for about 3 minutes more, or until the cheese is melted.

Serve hot, topping each serving with some of
the sour cream and scallions or cilantro.

Avery, you can freeze these nicely... just don't freeze the fresh topping part... add it when you cook and serve... I recommend doubling the recipe, freezing portions for meals ahead...great for the unexpected lunch guests... or for those busy nights you prefer not to cook from scratch...

This combination of ingredients make me want to fix this right now! I am glad that I'd have to shop before I can fix it, because I'd make and eat way too many.
