Ingredients

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Sauté onion and garlic in hot oil in a Dutch oven over medium high heat until tender. Stir in chicken, Rotel, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in cilantro and feta cheese.
  • Spoon about ¼ cup chicken mixture down center of each tortilla; roll up tortillas, and place, seam-side-down, in lightly greased 13×9 inch baking dish.
  • Whisk together half and half and cumin powder in a small saucepan over low heat until cumin is mixed in and liquid is warmed. (You can also heat it in the microwave for about 2 minutes). Pour over tortillas.
  • Bake, covered with foil, for 10 minutes. Remove foil and bake 10 more minutes. Sprinkle with shredded cheeses and cilantro (if using) bake 10 more minutes.

    I never have really warmed up to enchiladas made with flour tortillas, but there are plenty of things to like about this one–so I substituted corn tortillas. The difference in calories (corn tortillas are about 40% of the calories of equally sized flour ones) made me feel a whole lot better about the half and half, and since the corn really ups the taste, I loved the recipe.

    I’ve been looking for a good enchilada recipe and this sounds wonderful, but I’m not a fan of cumin or goat cheese. Can anyone suggest a few alternatives please? Thank you.

      @Susie, For this one- no. There are programs online though where you can input ingredients and figure out nutritional information though.
