Ingredients

    - 2 x cans Old El Paso Enchilada Sauce
    - 6 x Mission 96% Fat Free Whole Wheat Tortillas
    (Medium / Soft Taco size)
    - 10 oz Chicken Breast Tenderloins (about 9 chicken tenders)
    - 1.5 cups Sargento® Shredded Reduced Fat 4 Mexican
    Cheese
    - About a TBSP Ground Cumin
    - Salt and Pepper

Directions

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Place your chicken tenderloins on a baking sheet. Don't forget to spray with non-stick cooking spray before placing the chicken on the sheet.

Lightly season the chicken by sprinkling with ground cumin, salt and pepper. Place in 400 degree oven to bake for approximately 20 minutes (or until chicken is thoroughly baked.)

Remove chicken from oven and cut into small bite sized pieces.

Add chicken bits into a mixing bowl or Tupperware container and mix in 1/4 cup of enchilada sauce.

Evenly distribute the chicken/sauce mixture onto your six tortillas (about 2 ounces of chicken per tortilla.)

Sprinkle on 1/8 cup of shredded cheese into each tortilla, roll 'em up and place into a casserole dish.

Dump the remaining enchilada sauce over each of the enchiladas.

Top each enchilada with 1/8 cup of shredded cheese.

Bake at 400 degrees for approximately 10 minutes (or until golden, brown and delicious.)

ˇArriba!

    I made these for dinner tonight since I was craving enchiladas but didn't want to go to a restaurant for them since they pack in all the bad stuff. These were absolutely delicious! We used corn tortillas instead and also added about a tablespoon of fresh cilantro in the filling. - 8/30/10
