Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth (from 32-oz carton)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)
  • 3/4 cup Mountain High™ lowfat plain yoghurt
  • 2 cups shredded deli rotisserie chicken
  • 2 cups shredded reduced-fat Mexican cheese blend (8 oz)
  • 1/2 cup sliced green onions
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1 can (4.5 oz) Old El Paso™ chopped green chiles
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 8 corn tortillas (5- or 6-inch)
  • 1 cup chopped tomatoes
  • Additional yoghurt and chopped cilantro, if desired

Steps

    Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 12x8-inch (2-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray.

    In 2-quart saucepan, stir broth, flour, cumin, garlic powder and red pepper with whisk until blended. Cook over medium-high heat about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mixture boils and thickens slightly. Remove from heat; beat in yoghurt until mixed well.

    In medium bowl, mix chicken, 1 cup of the cheese blend, the green onions, cilantro, green chiles, chili powder and 1/2 cup of the chicken broth mixture. On microwavable plate, cover tortillas with wet paper towel; microwave on High 30 to 45 seconds to soften. Spoon slightly less than 1/2 cup chicken mixture down center of each tortilla. Roll up tortillas; arrange seam side down in baking dish. Top with remaining chicken broth mixture. Spray foil with cooking spray; cover baking dish with foil, sprayed side down.
