cheese

🥗Healthier: low-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Low-fat cheese reduces calories; processed cheese is usually cheaper.

enchilada sauce

🥗Healthier: homemade tomato sauce

💰Cheaper: store-brand enchilada sauce

Homemade sauce can be healthier with fresh ingredients; store brands are often less expensive.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Spray a 9" x 13" baking dish lightly with non-stick cooking spray and spread about 1 cup of enchilada sauce into the bottom.

In a medium sized bowl, combine the chicken, room temperature cream cheese, green chilis, and 2 cups of cheddar cheese. Mix well to combine.

Fill each tortilla with about 1/2 cup of chicken mixture. Roll up and place seam side down in the baking dish. Repeat with all 8 tortillas.

Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the top of the rolled tortillas, then sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheese.

Bake uncovered in a preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until the enchiladas are heated through and the cheese is golden brown.

Top with sour cream, salsa, chopped tomatoes and sliced avocados, if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
