Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Spray skillet with olive oil flavored PAM. Sauté chopped onions and red bell peppers over a medium temperature until the veggies just start to soften. Then add the jalapeños, cumin, chili powder and black pepper (salt if you want – but you really don’t need it). Continue cooking until onions are clear - do not over cook.
  2. Transfer the cooked veggies to a medium size mixing bowl, add the refried beans, shredded chicken (boil the chicken the day before for ease of handling) and 3 ounces of the green enchilada sauce. Mix and then set aside.
  3. Prepare an appropriate size baking dish (for 2 large or 4 small enchiladas) by spraying it with olive flavored PAM. Pour an ounce or so of the green enchilada sauce in the bottom of dish. Set aside.
  4. Next, lightly cover both sides of your first tortilla with green enchilada sauce. If making 2 large tortillas, fill tortilla with half of the chicken mixture (1/4 of mixture if making smaller tortillas). Top with 1/4 cup shredded cheese (1/8 cup if making smaller tortillas). Roll tortilla to form enchilada, place on top enchilada sauce in backing dish. Repeat enchilada-filling process for remaining tortilla(s).
  5. Pour any remaining green enchilada sauce over top of enchiladas (top each tortilla with 1T or so of fat free sour cream and 1T sliced black olives – if you want). Cover with aluminum foil. Bake in 350° oven for 35-40 minutes.
  6. NOTE: No matter which size tortilla you use the serving size it the same – that is, 1/2 of the large tortilla is equal to a serving. If you are a Weight Watcher this entrée has a point value of 4 (250 or so calories)! Did you add the fat free sour cream and the black olives? If so, point value goes to 5 (275 or so calories).
