Chicken Enchiladas

Using cream of chicken soup in place of enchilada sauce is a simple way to keep the heat down.

INGREDIENTS | YIELDS 6 enchiladas

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • ¼ cup chopped scallions
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup light sour cream
  • 2 cups chicken, cooked and shredded
  • 1 cup black beans, drained
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese
  • 2 ripe tomatoes, chopped
  • 6 whole-wheat flour tortillas
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9″ × 13″ baking dish.

  2. In a medium saucepan, melt butter and sauté scallions and garlic until tender.

  3. Add cream of chicken soup and sour cream. Heat all and mix together well.

  4. Remove ¾ of sauce from pan and set aside. To the remaining ¼ in the pan, add chicken, black beans, mozzarella cheese, and tomatoes. Stir to combine.

  5. Fill each whole-wheat tortilla with the chicken mixture and roll up. Place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.

  6. In a small bowl, combine the reserved ¾ of the sauce with the milk. Spoon this mixture over the rolled tortillas and top with Cheddar cheese.

  7. Bake for 30–40 minutes until cheese is bubbly.
