Time 50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon butter
½ cup chopped green onions
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ pound cremini mushrooms, sliced
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chiles
1 (10.75 ounce) can natural cream of mushroom soup
½ cup low-fat sour cream
1 ½ cups cubed cooked chicken breast meat
1 cup pinto beans
½ cup shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese
6 (12 inch) whole wheat flour tortillas
¼ cup low-fat milk
½ cup shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a large baking dish.
  • Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir green onion and garlic until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook until lightly browned and tender, about 6 minutes. Stir in green chilies, cream of mushroom soup, and sour cream. Mix well. Reserve 3/4 this sauce in a bowl and set aside. Mix in chicken, pinto beans, and 1/2 cup of shredded Cheddar cheese to the remaining 1/4 of sauce in saucepan; stir together.
  • Fill each tortilla with chicken mixture and roll up. Place seam side down in the prepared baking dish.
  • Combine reserved 3/4 sauce with milk in a small bowl. Spoon this mixture over the rolled tortillas and top with remaining 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese. Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is bubbly and enchiladas are heated through, 30 to 35 minutes.

These enchiladas were a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. I think I will try making them again with less chili powder next time.

I made these enchiladas last night and they were delicious! The only thing I changed was that I used a rotisserie chicken instead of cooking my own. It saved me a lot of time and the chicken was still very moist and flavorful.
