Yummy Enchilada Verde Recipe but Need Red Help
We make verde enchiladas (the green ones) pretty regularly and finally figured out a recipe that rocks (see below). But the "red" enchiladas.still needs some work. We usually just use shredded chicken in flour tortillas topped with the canned enchilada sauce. Sometimes we mix in some fat free cream cheese with the chicken, but it doesn't make a large improvement. Does anyone have some recommendations for good "red" enchiladas without adding tons of fat?
Take 2-3 cups of shredded chicken and mix with 4 to 8 oz of cream cheese (we use Fat Free), about 1/2 cup of canned verde enchilada sauce and 1 small can of green chilies (less if you don't want it too spicy). Use this mixture to fill flour tortillas that are placed in a 9x13 pan and then covered witht the remaining enchilada sauce. You can cover with cheddar cheese if you like. Bake at 350 for 30 min or untill bubbly throughout.

Maybe you could use a reduced fat ranch dressing to cut some of the fat.
