Ingredients:

1/2 cup Belfonte Sour Cream
2-3 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
1 onion, diced
1 7 oz can of green chilies, diced
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 packet taco seasoning
10-12 corn or flour tortillas, medium size
1 10 oz can red enchilada sauce
2 cups Monterrey Jack cheese
Salt & Pepper to taste
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Add oil to a large skillet and add diced green chilies, taco seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and water and stir to combine.
- Add shredded chicken and toss to evenly coat with seasoning mixture. Remove from the heat, cover, and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, stir together cottage cheese, 3/4 of the Monterey Jack and sour cream until evenly combined.
- Coat the bottom of an 11 X 14-inch baking dish with 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce. Spoon about 3-4 tablespoons of the cheese mixture down the center of a tortilla to the top with an equal amount of the chicken mixture.
- Roll the tortilla up and place seam side down in the baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
- Cover the rolled enchiladas with enchilada sauce and sprinkle evenly with the remaining 1/4 cheese.
- Bake until the enchiladas are heated through, the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is melted, usually about 20-25 minutes.
