Number Of Ingredients 13

4 cups torn fresh spinach
salt to taste
1 ½ cups shredded cooked chicken breast
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1 (8 ounce) container nonfat sour cream
¼ cup plain nonfat yogurt
2 tablespoons whole wheat flour
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
½ cup 1% milk
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
6 (7 inch) whole wheat tortillas
½ cup shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese

I thought these enchiladas were just okay. The chicken was a little dry and the sauce was a little bland.

I love that this recipe uses Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. It makes the enchiladas a little healthier without sacrificing any of the flavor.
