1/8 teaspoon salt

sodium condensed cream of chicken soup
8 ounces low-fat sour cream
1 cup skim milk
1 4-ounce can chopped green chilies
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

 

In a small skillet saute onion in oil. In a mixing bowl stir together cream cheese, water, cumin, black pepper and salt. Stir in cooked onion and chicken into cream cheese mixture. Wrap tortillas in foil and heat in a 350 degree oven for 10 minutes or until softened. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla. Roll up the tortillas and place seam side down on a baking dish that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.

To make sauce, combine soup, sour cream, milk, and green chilies; pour over enchiladas. Bake the enchiladas covered in 350 degree oven for 40 minutes or until heated through. Sprinkle the enchiladas with cheddar cheese. Bake uncovered for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Makes 12 enchiladas.
