Lime Chicken Enchiladas
1 store rotisserie cooked chicken, cut into pieces
1 C. diced onion
1/3 C. white wine or chicken broth
1 1/2 T. chopped garlic
1 t. pepper
1 t. dried oregano or dried cilantro
1 1/2 t. kosher salt (divided)
juice of 2 limes (divided)
1 16 oz. container nonfat plain yogurt (2 C.)
1/2 c. fat free milk
pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
grated peel of 1 lime (green part only)
8 multigrain tortillas
1 C. shredded cheddar cheese (4 oz.)
Remove skin and bone from chicken and dice chicken meat into 1/2-inch pieces. Refrigerate until ready to use.
In a medium bowl, stir together the yogurt, milk,1/2 teaspoon salt, cayenne, the juice of 1 lime and the grated lime peel. Refrigerate until ready to use.
In a nonstick skillet, saute the onion in a teaspoon or so of oil. Add wine or broth, garlic, pepper, oregano, 1 tsp salt, and juice of 1 lime. Add chicken and simmer to get the flavor throughout the meat and to reduce the liquid. Drain excess liquid.
Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a 9 x 13-inch baking pan.
Warm multi-grain flour tortillas in the microwave. Fill each softened tortilla with 1/2 cup chicken mixture. Roll tortilla into an enchilada and place into the prepared pan. Top with the lime/yogurt mixture. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until heated through. Serve immediately.
Makes 8 enchiladas.
I like fresh guacamole and pico de gallo or fresh salsa on them.
This is so nice in the summer with a big tossed salad.

ooh yum! I remember these! Did you make these for dinner last night? Pretty ironic because I was going to post a creamy chicken enchilada recipe soon after making them again last night. :) I think mine would be the UNhealthy version...
No, I made them last week. Last night it was Swiss chard cheese bundles adapted from Moosewood!
