    List of Ingredients




    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 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

    Recipe




    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.
