Ingredients

ENCHILADA SAUCE

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion - minced
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 15 oz tomato sauce - canned, no sodium added
  • ½ cup water

CHICKEN ENCHILADAS

  • 2 cups skinless chicken breast - cooked and shredded
  • ½ cup fat-free refried beans
  • 1.5 cups enchilada sauce - recipe above
  • ½ cup fat-free cheddar cheese - shredded
  • 12 small tortillas
  • cooking spray

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400° F
  • Spray a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with cooking spray
  • Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat, and add onions. Cook until tender and translucent.
  • Stir in salt, pepper, garlic, chili powder, and sugar. Mix well and quickly.
  • Stir in tomato sauce and water. Bring to a simmer for 5 minutes, until slightly thickened.
  • Combine chicken, beans, 1/2 cup of prepared enchilada sauce, and cheese, in a large bowl.
  • Stack tortilla wraps and cover with plastic wrap (microwave safe). Microwave the tortillas for 1 minute to soften.
  • Divide chicken mixture evenly down the center of each tortilla, and loosely roll the tortillas around filling.
  • Place each stuffed tortilla seam-side down on the baking dish.
  • Lightly spray the exposed end-edges of the enchiladas with cooking spray to prevent burning.
  • Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the enchiladas in the baking dish.
  • Cover with foil and bake enchiladas for 10 minutes. Remove the foil and bake another 5 minutes.

Spa Index Kitchen Notes

1 Serving = 2 Enchiladas
If you like a melted cheese topping on your enchiladas, you should omit it from the chicken filling, and reserve the cheese as a topping during the final uncovered baking step.
