Sprinkle chicken breasts with salt. Grill chicken over hot coals using direct heat cooking method until no longer pink in center and juices run clear (about 10 min. per side); cool. Shred chicken; set aside. Pour 1 can enchilada sauce into bottom of 13x9" glass baking dish.

Dip each tortilla into bowl of sauce; set on plate. Divide chicken, cheese, jalapenos and cilantro among each of 12 tortillas reserving some of the cheese, jalapeno and cilantro for the
top; roll tortilla around filling. Place tortillas seam side down over sauce in baking dish. Pour remaining sauce over top. Sprinkle with reserved cheese and jalapenos. Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven until cheese is melted and enchiladas are heated through (about 20 min.). Serve with lettuce, avocado, sour cream and lime. Serves 6.
