ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 (1 1/4 ounce) package low-sodium taco seasoning
- 1 (10 ounce) can enchilada sauce
- 8 (6 inch) tortillas
- 4 chopped scallions
- 3 tablespoons green hot pepper sauce or 3 tablespoons green chili sauce
- 1 1⁄2 cups shredded low-fat cheddar cheese or 1 1/2 cups low-fat monterey jack cheese
directions
- Parboil chicken 15 minutes.
- Using two forks, pull chicken apart, into bite-size chunks and strips.
- In a bowl, combine chicken and taco seasoning. Add most of scallions, reserving some of the chopped green tips for garnish. Pour in half of the enchilada sauce (I use the medium, which has a bit of a kick to it) Add 1/2 cup of the cheese, and the green tabasco if desired - mix.
- Divide filling equally among the 8 tortilla shells. Roll up each one and place seam side down in a casserole pan.
- Pour the rest of the enchilada sauce over the top of the tortillas, and sprinkle them with the remaining cheese.
- Bake 10-15 minutes, until cheese is melted.
- Garnish with chopped scallion greens and serve with low-fat sour cream.

I am really into the concept that quick, affordable, AND healthy is totally possible, and using fresh and local foods while doing it! I'm definitely guilty of taking shortcuts in a pinch, but I never make anything with a can of Cream of Chicken soup (blech). Recently I've been all about lentils and quinoa, and any vegetable on the grill!

Also, I'd just like to state for the record here: "Marinade" is the dressing you put on meat to make it juicy and tasty - i.e. "Use italian dressing for a marinade." "Marinate" is the act of using that dressing - i.e. "Marinate the chicken one hour". Ok, that's all from the Vocabulary Police for today. ;)
