Yields/Serves:
8
Ingredients:
For the Creamy Sauce
1 ½ tablespoons flour
1 ½ tablespoons butter
For the Green Sauce
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 medium yellow onion, roughly chopped
2 cloves garlic
1 small can mild green chilies
1 ½ cups chicken stock
For the Filling
1 ½ cups shredded cooked chicken
1 cup LACTAID® Cottage Cheese
¾ cup prepared red salsa
salt and black pepper to taste
For the Assembly
8 small corn tortillas
1 avocado, diced
2 tomatoes, diced
chopped cilantro for serving, if desired
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F and spray a 13x9-inch baking dish with nonstick spray. Set aside.
For the Creamy Sauce
- In a medium sauce pan, cook the flour and butter over medium heat, stirring into a bubbling paste for about 2 minutes.
- Whisk in LACTAID® Reduced Fat 2% Lactose-Free Milk and cook over medium heat, stirring very frequently, until the sauce begins to thicken, about 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
For the Green Sauce
- In a medium sauce pan, cook the onion in oil over medium heat until soft, about five minutes.
- Add the garlic and chilies, and cook until fragrant, about another minute.
- Add the chicken stock and remove from heat (mixture will be just warm).
- Pour into blender and pulse into a smooth sauce.
- Pour back into the pan, season with salt and pepper, and set aside.
For the Filling
- In a medium bowl, mix the chicken, LACTAID® Cottage Cheese and salsa. Taste before seasoning with salt and pepper.
For the Assembly
- Wrap the tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave for 15 seconds to soften.
- Working one at a time, dip each tortilla in the green sauce and then fill with a few tablespoons of chicken filling, and then place seam side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
- Pour the remaining green sauce and the creamy sauce on top of the enchiladas.
- Bake until bubbly and starting to turn golden brown on top, about 30 minutes.
- Let cool 10 minutes before topping with avocado, tomato and cilantro (if using), and serve.
