AWESOME AND EASY CHICKEN ENCHILADAS (REDUCED FAT)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Divide the shredded chicken, onions and 1 cup of the cheese equally into each tortilla. (This doesn't have to be exact or perfect here!).
• Roll them each tightly and place seam-side down into a greased (cooking spray) 9x13 baking dish.
• Prepare the sauce by combining soup, sour cream and green chilis (for a hotter recipe also add 1/4 cup finely chopped jalapenos).
• The sauce should be of a thick gravy-like consistency. You may need to add a little water to thin it out (I usually add about 1/2 a can of water to reconstitute the soup).
• Pour sauce over the rolled tortillas.
• Bake for about 20 minutes.
• Remove from oven and top with remaining cheese.
• Return to oven until the cheese melts.
• Ole!
