1 can (4 oz.) chopped green chiles
1-1/4 tsp. salt, divided
1/2 tsp. ground coriander (optional)
1 cup sour cream
2-1/2 cups chopped cooked chicken breast*

1 cup shredded Wisconsin Monterey Jack cheese

Recipe
Place tomatoes with juice, chiles, 1/2 teaspoon salt, coriander and sour cream in blender. Cover; blend until smooth, about 30 seconds. Set aside.
Combine chicken, cream cheese, onion and remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt in mixing bowl; set aside.
Heat tortillas in a stack in microwave for 45 seconds on 100% to soften. Place 1/4 cup of chicken filling on each tortilla and roll up. Place filled tortillas, seam side down, in sprayed 13 x 9 x 2-inch glass baking pan, making two rows of 5 tortillas each.
Pour blended tomato mixture over tortillas. Cover pan with foil. Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 40 minutes. Remove foil; sprinkle with cheese and cilantro. Return to oven until cheese melts, about 5-7 minutes. Serve immediately.
*1-1/4 pounds of uncooked chicken breast will yield approximately 2-1/2 cups cooked chicken.
