Creamy Key Lime Chicken Enchiladas

Pinspiration: http://pinterest.com/pin/185210603398348993/

Another enchilada recipe!


Assemble the ingredients: deli rotisserie chicken, onion (I almost always use green because they're not as strong), chopped green chiles, Greek Key lime yogurt, fresh cilantro, lime juice (recipe called for fresh, but I didn't have any), enchilada sauce, tortillas, shredded cheese


I really, really, really hate shredding chicken.


Cook chicken, onion and chiles over medium-high heat about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chicken is warm and onion begins to soften.


Remove from heat; stir in yogurt, 1/4 cup of the cilantro and the lime juice. Stir in 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce.


Spoon 1/4 cup chicken mixture down center of each tortilla.


Roll up. Place, seam side down, in baking dish.


Spread remaining enchilada sauce over filled enchiladas; sprinkle with cheese. Bake uncovered about 30 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.


I forgot to sprinkle more cilantro on.


Hmmm... I don't remember why I didn't use the striped plate. ;-)
