Time 40m

Yield 12 enchiladas, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 corn tortillas, 8 inch
1 cup shredded mexican four cheese blend
1/2 cup fat-free cottage cheese
3/4 cup chopped white onion
1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
1 (19 ounce) can enchilada sauce
2 tablespoons diced green chilies
3 tablespoons sliced black olives

Steps:

  • Step 1:
  • Soften the tortillas. Normally, tortillas are softened by lightly frying them in hot oil. Skinny enchiladas skips this step -- and all the fat!
  • Pour the enchilada sauce in a skillet and heat. Dip each tortilla in the hot sauce, coating each side, for a few seconds. Shake off and place on microwavable platter, 3 or 4 at a time, making sure that they do not overlap. Microwave for 20-40 seconds, until soft. (Time will vary according to your microwave oven.) Set aside to cool.
  • Step 2:
  • In a bowl, mix 3/4 cup finely chopped onion (about 1/2 a large onion), ricotta, cottage cheese, green chiles (mild or hot, to taste), and salt and pepper to taste. Add half the shredded cheese (1/2 cup.) Mix with fork until ingredients are blended.
  • Step 3:.
  • Spray a rectangular casserole dish with non-stick spray.
  • Place approximately 1/12th of the cheese mixture (about 1/4 cup) on a tortilla and loosely roll. Place seam side down in casserole dish. Repeat until all tortillas are filled. Spread remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the enchiladas.
  • Step 4:.
  • Bake for 15 minutes in an oven preheated to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. After 15 minutes, remove and evenly spread the remaining cheese and the black olives on top. Return to oven for 10 more minutes.
  • Serve hot.
