Ingredients

    2 chicken breasts
    10-12 soft corn tortillas
    1- 8oz bag 2% Cheddar cheese
    1 jar salsa verde (La Victoria or any other)
    1 bunch scallions- chopped
    1 tsp Cumin
    1-2 tsp Onion powder
    Salt
    Pepper
    1/8- 1/4 tsp Cayenne pepper (opt.)

Directions

Serves 6
Oven 425 F.

Cut chicken into uniform pieces and sauté or steam until fully cooked.

In a food processor, combine chicken and seasonings (salt to taste) and blend until uniform consistency. ( I prefer finely chopped)

Steam corn tortillas by wrapping in damp paper towels and microwaving for 20 seconds. I suggest doing this in two batches.

Spread a thin layer of salsa over a 13x9" backing dish (you can divide recipe into two smaller dishes).

Place chicken mixture and a light sprinkle of cheese on each tortilla and roll into a cylinder, and place closely together, seam-side down.

Cover with remaining salsa and sprinkle with cheese and chopped scallion.

Bake 20-30 minutes.

Serve with nonfat, Greek-style yogurt in lieu of sour cream.
Enjoy!
