Ingredients:

Serving

12 corn tortillas
3 cooked boneless skinless chicken breast halves, shredded
3/4 cup minced onion
1 cup bell pepper, finely chopped
1/2 cup salsa
1/2 tsp cumin
2 tbsp butter
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/2 cup light sour cream
1 (4 oz) can chopped green chilies
1 cup shredded monterey jack cheese
1/2 cup chopped green onion
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
In a skillet, saute onions and bell peppers in a little olive oil until tender. Add shredded chicken (and beans, if desired), salsa and cumin and heat on low until warm. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and saute for about 2 minutes (keeping the heat medium low so as not to scorch the garlic). Add the flour and mix. Then slowly add the broth, cooking and stirring with a whisk for several minutes until thickened. Mix in the sour cream, yogurt and green chilies. Heat throroughly but do not boil, stirring occasionally.
Grease a 9x13 pan with cooking spray. Then cover the bottom with about 1/2 cup of the garlic-cream sauce.
Warm tortillas in microwave for a few seconds until they are soft and pliable. Divide chicken mixture among the 12 tortillas. Roll up each tortilla and place seam side down baking pan.
Bake covered in pre-heated oven for 20 minutes or until heated through. Remove foil and top with cheese and green onions and bake for 5 minutes more. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro.
Serve with tomatoes, chopped lettuce, salsa and extra sour cream, if desired.
