Preparation

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Spray a 9 x 13 glass baking pan with cooking spray. If wraps are chilled, place in microwave for a few seconds at a time to bring to room temperature.

Place tomatillo sauce, sour cream, cilantro and garlic powder in a blender and process until smooth. Spread about 1/2 cup of the sauce mixture on the bottom of the baking pan.

On a dinner size plate, place a tortilla. Put 2 ounces of chicken along the center of the tortilla. Sprinkle with a little bit of salt and pepper, and drizzle 1 tablespoon of sauce over the chicken. Sprinkle with a small amount of the cheese. Roll up, and place in the baking dish with the seam side down.Repeat until you have built all 10 enchiladas.

Pour remaining sauce over the top of the enchiladas, spreading to get sauce over each one. Sprinkle on remaining cheese.

Bake 30 minutes or until cheese starts to brown. Serve immediately.

Yields 10 enchiladas. Leftovers may be frozen, or stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
