  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1/2 c shredded cheddar cheese
  • 6 tablespoons sour cream

Preparation

  3. Remove chicken from pot and in a separate container shred chicken using 2 forks. Set aside.
  4. Preheat oven to 350° F. Spray a baking dish with cooking spray.
  5. Place Salsa Verde in a shallow frying pan and heat on low heat.
  6. In a separate pan, heat tortillas and transfer into the frying pan. Drench tortillas in salsa one by one; set aside
  7. Once all tortillas have been drenched, start assembling the enchiladas by stuffing with chicken and cheese and rolling them so that the seam side is down in the baking dish. (Divide the
  8. chicken and cheese equally between the 6 tortillas.) Pour the remaining Salsa Verde over top of enchiladas. Cover dish with foil and heat in the oven for 15 minutes.
  9. Top each enchilada with 1 tablespoon sour cream. Enjoy!

Helpful hints

  • For added flavor top enchiladas with chopped onions or cilantro.
  • Commercially prepared salsa verde and flour tortillas may be substituted, but sodium will be higher. Look for the lowest sodium brands.
  • Most flour tortillas are high in sodium. Lower sodium brands include Tortilla Land® Fresh Ready-to-Cook Tortillas (210 mg sodium), La Banderita® Low Sodium Tortillas (85 mg sodium).
