Ingredients
-
1 lb chicken breast tenderloins, grilled or braised
1 can Old El Paso refried beans, fat free
2, 4 oz cans chopped green chilies
1 tsp ground cumin
1 1/2 tsp cilantro, dried
1 tsp garlic powder
1/4 to 1/2 tsp ground red pepper (cayenne)
1 1/2 C Kraft 2% milkfat Mexican 4 Cheese
2, 10 oz cans Old El Paso Enchilada sauce
16 corn tortillas, 6 inch
Directions
Chop chicken into chunks. Put in a food processor and pulse until coarsely shredded. Pour into a large bowl.
In the food processor, combine beans, chilies, seasonings, and 1/2 cup cheese until smooth. Pour over chicken in bowl. Stir until throughly combined.
Pour 1/2 can of enchilada sauce in each of 2, 7x9 inch baking dishes.
Steam tortillas, 4 at a time, in a microwave for 30 seconds, covered with a wet paper towel. As each batch of tortillas comes out of the microwave, spoon about 1/4 cup of chicken mixture in the middle of each tortilla. Roll up the tortilla and place in baking dish, seam side down. Spoon a little of the sauce over the stuffed tortilla to maintain moisture. (This will help keep the tortilla from cracking.) Each baking dish will hold approximately 8 tortillas.
Once all tortillas have been stuffed. Cover each batch with the remaining can of sauce (1/2 for each baking dish). Sprinkle remaining cheese over the top (1/2 C for each dish of enchiladas).
Bake, covered with foil, for 20 minutes at 350 degrees. Remove foil and bake another 10 minutes.
Optional toppings: green onions, light sour cream, olives, shredded lettuce, jalapenos, chopped tomatoes, etc. (not included in calorie count).
Serve with brown or Mexican rice for a meal.
