Contest entry...

My first contest entry response was a request for an enchilada recipe. Now if you know me, you know that my food has to serve two purposes, it has to be good and it has to be healthy. Here is my favorite healthy enchiladas recipe, I hope you enjoy...

Serves 4
1 lb chicken breast (you can pre cook before for faster prep)
4 green onions, sliced (I use reg white, diced)
1 jalapeno, seeded and minced, optional
2 cans of green enchilada sauce
8 corn tortillas
1 c reduced-fat cheddar cheese or part-skim mozzarella
2 c lettuce, shredded (I use chopped spinach)
1/2 c fresh salsa
1/2 c light sour cream
1 tomato, sliced, optional

Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly coat a baking pan w/cooking spray. Place chicken in a pot and cover w/water over high heat, cook until center no longer pink. Drain and let cool. Shred the cooked chicken and set apart. In same pot you cooked chicken add cooking spray place over medium high heat, add green onions, jalapeno, shredded chicken and 1 can of enchilada sauce. Cook about 5 minutes until warm.
Warm tortillas so they are flexible and fill with 1/8 of chicken filling, and roll. Do this for remainder of tortillas assembling in baking pan. Pour remaining 1 can of enchilada sauce evenly over all tortillas and sprinkle with cheese. Bake until heated through and cheese has melted, about 15 mins. Serve by topping with lettuce (or spinach) salsa, sour cream, and tomatoes. Enjoy!
