Original Recipe Yield 4 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 1 cup BREAKSTONE'S or KNUDSEN Sour Cream
  • 1 cup tomatillo salsa
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons oil
  • 3 cups shredded cooked chicken breasts
  • 1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chiles, drained
  • 1 1/2 cups KRAFT Mexican Style Shredded Four Cheese with a Touch of PHILADELPHIA
  • 8 (6 inch) flour tortillas

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Mix sour cream and salsa until well blended. Cook and stir onions and garlic in hot oil in large skillet on medium heat 4 to 5 min. or until vegetables are crisp-tender. Stir in chicken, 1 cup sour cream mixture, chiles and 1/2 cup cheese.
  3. Spoon about 1/3 cup chicken mixture down center of each tortilla; roll up. Place, seam-sides down, in 13x9-inch baking dish sprayed with cooking spray. Top with remaining tomatillo sauce and cheese. Cover.
  4. Bake 15 to 20 min. or until heated through.

Footnotes

  • Serving Suggestion: Serve with a side of hot cooked rice to round out the meal.
  • Special Extra: Sprinkle with chopped tomatoes and sliced green onions just before serving.
  • Variation: Prepare as directed, omitting the oil and substituting 1 pound extra-lean ground beef for the chicken. Brown meat with onions and garlic; continue as directed.
  • How to Shred Cooked Chicken: Place cooked chicken on cutting board. Use 2 forks or your fingers to pull meat lengthwise in opposite directions, separating it into long shreds.
