Ingredients:
2t olive oil
1onion, chopped (sweet was great!)
2 garlic cloves, minced (we used 3 or 4)
2C chopped cooked chicken
1 (10 oz) can mild enchilada sauce
1t dried oregano
4 (6-inch) corn tortillas, halved
1/2 C Shredded reduced-fat pepperjack cheese

Method:

1) Preheat oven to 375. Spray 8x8 pan w/ nonstick spray.

2) Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic; cook, stirring frequently, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken, enchilada sauce, and oregano; bring to a simmer (bring to a simmer? I swear that's what it says :giggle). Remove the skillet from the heat.

3) Place 4 of the tortilla halves in an overlapping layer in the bottom of the dish. Spoon half of the chicken mixture on top and sprinkle with 1/4C of the cheese. Repeat the layer once more.

4) Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake about 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake until heated through and the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes (longer doesn't hurt, DH was on the phone and I ended up giving it 25 ;) ). . Let stand about 5 minutes, then cut into 4 portions and serve at once (or within 20 minutes :rofl)

Do points equal out to calories at all? For even just like a rough estimate? :thinking

Not really. Point values are figured out based on total calories, fat and fiber. I have no idea what the formula is. But I'll tell you that in one serving of this dish there are :

278 Calories
11g Fat
4G Saturated Fat
70mg sodium
19g Carbs
3g fiber
26g protein <--- very important :yes Keeps you full!
186mg Calcium

I have no idea :rofl Just make it in an 8x8 pan (like the recipe says) and cut in half both ways...that's four equal servings :D

It's a pretty good size portion, I was a little surprised at how big it was. We had it with salad and refried beans and I didn't even eat it all.
