Servings: 5 Servings
Calories: 465kcal
Ingredients
- 1 pound Pulled Rotisserie Chicken
- 1 ½ cups (360g) Green Enchilada Sauce
- ¾ cup (180g) Low Fat Cottage Cheese
- 6 oz Shredded Pepper Jack or Monterey Jack Cheese
- 10 Corn Tortillas I used 6" white corn tortillas
Garnishes
- Shredded Lettuce
- Cilantro
- Nonfat Greek Yogurt or Sour Cream
- Queso Fresco
Instructions
- Make the chicken filling. Blend the cottage cheese, 3/4 cup (180g) enchilada sauce, and 1 oz (28g) of shredded cheese together until smooth. Mix the pulled chicken and the blended sauce together.
- Assemble the enchiladas. Wrap the tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30-45 seconds until pliable. Fill each tortilla with about 3 oz (84g) of the chicken mixture. Tightly roll and place on a parchment lined sheet pan in 5 sets of 2. Top each couple with about 2 tablespoons of the remaining enchilada sauce and 1 oz of cheese.
- Bake the enchiladas in a 450ºF oven for 10-12 minutes until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are slightly browning around the edges.
- Garnish with shredded lettuce, fresh cilantro, Greek yogurt or sour cream (I like to thin it with water to drizzle), and queso fresco.
