Chicken Enchiladas

This is a favorite recipe at our house! 

Chicken Enchiladas
1-1/4 lb chicken, cooked and shredded (I cook it in the crockpot)
16 low-carb tortillas
LOTS of shredded cheese
1/2 stick butter
1/2 cup onion
1-2 tsp garlic
8 oz low fat cream cheese
1/3 cup heavy cream
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp chili powder

Spread 2-4 Tbsp of chicken on each tortilla; sprinkle cheese on top and roll up. Place in 9x13 pan (I usually melt a little butter on the bottom of the 9x13 pan to keep tortillas from sticking)

Sauce: Melt butter in bottom of pan; saute onion and garlic. Add cream cheese and stir until melted. Pour in heavy cream, cumin and chili powder. 

Pour the sauce over the enchiladas, sprinkle with more shredded cheese and bake at 350 for 25 minutes!

Note: If you are doing Trim Healthy Mama, this is an S meal. I use the 3g net carb tortillas, and have two of them...
