Yield: 4 servings


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

Rest of ingredients:
- 8 thin corn tortillas (6-inch rounds)
- 1-3/4 cups canned 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

Preheat oven to 450º. 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.
