This enchilada pie has more filling and less tortillas and cheese than most. I was trying to save on calories.
This recipe created for Babble’s Family Kitchen.
Yield:
Serves 8 For the filling 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, chopped in 1/2 – 1 inch pieces For the sauce 1 – 15 oz can tomato sauce or puree More ingredients 6 white tortillas 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. For the sauce, add all ingredients listed to a small saucepan, except fresh cilantro. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. 2.
