Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375ยฐF (190ยฐC). This ensures that it’s ready when your enchiladas are assembled and ready for baking.
-
Prepare Chicken Mixture: Spray a large skillet with cooking spray and add the diced chicken and onions. Cook over medium heat for approximately 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink.
-
Prepare Sauce: In a food processor, combine the skim milk, cilantro, Egg Beaters egg substitute, salt, and canned tomatoes with mild green chilies. Blend until smooth, creating a flavorful sauce for your enchiladas.
-
Soften Tortillas: Place the tortillas between paper towels and microwave on power level 5 (50%) for about 45 seconds. This softens the tortillas, making them easier to roll and fill.
-
Fill Tortillas: Spoon about 1/2 cup of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla, then sprinkle shredded cheese over the filling. Roll the tortillas tightly around the filling, creating your enchiladas, and place them seam-side down in a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
-
Add Sauce: Pour the prepared sauce over the enchiladas, ensuring that they are evenly coated for maximum flavor.
-
Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the enchiladas to heat through.
-
Final Touch: Uncover the baking dish, sprinkle additional shredded cheese over the top of the enchiladas, and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
-
Serve: Remove the enchiladas from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro and a dollop of fat-free sour cream, if desired.
