• 1/4 diced onion
• 2 cloves Fresh Garlic, Peeled And Minced
• ¼ cups All-purpose Flour
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 1 7oz. can Chipotle Peppers In Adobo Sauce

In a large skillet over medium heat add the two tablespoons of olive oil.
Add diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally,
Add in the minced garlic and cook for one minute. Add in the flour, cumin and the tablespoon of diced chipotle peppers, stir.
Whisk in the broth and water. Add in the tablespoon of adobo sauce if desired and simmer over medium heat until the sauce has thickened. Season with 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Put the shredded grilled chicken in a bowl. Add a couple spoons of  the “enchilada sauce” to the shredded chicken.
Spread some of the sauce in the bottom of the prepared pan.
Spoon a little of the sauce, chicken mixture, and cheese, down the center of each tortilla, then tuck and roll each tortilla and place it seam side down into the baking dish.
Pour and spread the remainder of the sauce over top of the enchiladas and top with rest of cheese.
Bake, uncovered, in your preheated 400 F oven for 15 minutes or until the cheese has melted and is bubbly.
Serve over shredded lettuce and top with chopped avocados and a spoonful of sour cream.
Fabulous dish!

I make a very similar version and they are delicious but mine doesn’t have peppers. I will have to try this one next!

Wow! Usually when I make lightened up versions of the real thing, I assume I’m going to be sacrificing something in flavor. These were incredible! Even better than their full fat counterpart. I was pleasantly surprised. Thanks!
