Chicken Enchiladas!



I tried a new recipe for Chicken Enchiladas last night and they were wonderful.   I found the recipe in an older Southern Living Magazine. I very seldom get rid a Southern Living Magazine. I found that if I keep them long enough, I can read them again and again.
Here is the recipe:

Chicken Enchiladas
3 c. chopped, cooked chicken
2 c. or 8 oz. shredded pepper jack cheese
1/2 c. sour cream (I use light sour cream)
1 (4.5 oz) can chopped green chiles, drained
1/3 cup fresh cilantro (I didn't have any, so I left out)
8 soft taco-size four tortillas

Cooking spray, like PAM

Topping:

1 (8oz) bottle of green taco sauce
1 (8oz) container of sour cream

Other optional toppings:
chopped tomatoes
chopped avocado
green onions
sliced black olives
chopped fresh cilantro

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Mix first 5 ingredients in large bowl
Spoon about 1/2 cup chicken mixture into tortillas and roll up. Place in lightly greased 11 x 9 baking dish. Lightly coat tops of tortillas with baking spray.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30 or 35 min. until tortillas are slightly brown.
Stir together the green taco sauce and 8 oz. sour cream. Spoon over got enchiladas and sprinkle with desired toppings.
*Monterey Jack Cheese can be substituted.
Enjoy!
