These are called chicken 'barbecue'-enchiladas because the sauce tastes faintly like smoky barbecue sauce. I created it one day when I didn't have any enchilada sauce but wanted enchiladas. If you're doing Weight Watchers, each serving is just six points and is very filling. If not, it's still a tasty and healthy alternative to regular enchiladas. Yields 6 servings.
Ingredients:
Meat layers;
• 1/2 bottle of mild chipotle taco sauce (about 4 oz.)
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/2 cup canned tomato sauce
• 1/2 tablespoon sugar (natural sugar substitute if you are watching your health)
• 2 teaspoons Sriracha hot sauce (more or less if desired, 2 teaspoons gives it a mild spiciness)
• 1 squeeze (probably like 2 teaspoons) lemon juice
• 1/2 small onion (white, yellow, or sweet)
• 2 large boneless, skinless COOKED chicken breasts
Tortilla layers;
• 4 whole wheat medium-sized tortillas
Top;
• 1 cup (a little under half of a small block) shredded part-skim mozzarella
• 1/2 small onion (white, yellow, or sweet)
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Chop up COOKED chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, or shred if desired. Place in large mixing bowl.
2. Chop up the half-onion into small pieces. They don't have to be tiny, so don't spend too much time on this. Sautee for a few minutes with non-fat cooking spray. Put the onions into the bowl.
3. Pour mild chipotle taco sauce, water, tomato sauce, sugar, Sriracha, and lemon juice into the bowl. Mix all ingredients together.
4. Soften your tortillas - in the microwave for a few seconds or on the stovetop for a few seconds per side.
5. Place a thin layer of the meat mixture into the bottom of an ungreased 8"x8" baking dish (you can probably use a bigger one, but this yields nice and thick pieces). Place two tortillas on top in a way that covers most of the dish. Place another thin layer of the chicken mixture, another layer of tortillas, and then the rest of your chicken mixture.
6. Over this, evenly sprinkle your mozzaralla. Then chop up the other half of the onion and sautee in non-fat cooking spray. Sprinkle this over the top of the cheese.
7. Sprinkle just a pinch of salt and pepper on top, and place dish uncovered into the oven. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes or until cheese is thoroughly melted.
8. Cut into six even squares. Serve and enjoy!
