In this recipe we dry-sautéed the tortillas instead of frying them (the traditional method) and decreased the cheese. Be sure to use corn tortillas because flour tortillas will turn gummy. Make the Green Enchilada Sauce first. Enchiladas are typically very spicy, but we've made this dish in a milder form. If you want to kick up the heat, adapt to taste by adding jalapeños or serrano chiles to the enchilada sauce.

Roll up and place, seam sides down, in a 13 x 9-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Spoon the chicken evenly over tortillas; top with remaining Green Enchilada Sauce.
