Equipment

• 1 Large bowl
• 1 Spoon
• 1 9×13 Casserole dish

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1½ cups reduced-fat shredded Mexican cheese
• 1 7 oz. bottle mild taco sauce
• 1½ lb. chicken breast, cooked and shredded
• 8 count Mission Carb Balance tortilla
• 2 cups green enchilada sauce
• Cooking spray

Instructions

 

• Preheat your oven to 375°F.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken breast with the taco sauce. Mix well to evenly coat the chicken.
• Take a tortilla and place a generous amount of the chicken mixture in the center. Sprinkle cheese on top of the chicken. Roll it up loosely and place it seam-side down in a 9×13 baking dish. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas, chicken mixture, and cheese.
• Pour the green enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas in the baking dish, covering them completely.
• Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbling and the enchiladas are heated through.
• Once cooked, remove the enchiladas from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
• Serve the chicken enchiladas warm, optionally garnished with chopped fresh cilantro or pico.
