CHICKEN ENCHILADAS 
8 (6") tortillas
1/2 c. chopped onion
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp. ground coriander
1/4 tsp. pepper
2 tbsp. butter
3 tbsp. all-purpose flour
1 (8 oz.) carton dairy sour cream
2 c. chicken broth
1 or 2 canned jalapeno chili peppers, rinsed, seeded & chopped
Or 1 (4 oz.) can diced green chili peppers, drained
1 c. shredded Monterey Jack cheese (4 oz.)
2 c. chopped cooked chicken or turkey
Sliced pitted ripe olives (optional)
Chopped tomatoes (optional)
Sliced green onions (optional)

Wrap tortillas in foil. Heat in a 350 degree oven for 10-15 minutes or until softened.

For sauce, in a saucepan cook onion, garlic, coriander and pepper in butter until onion is tender. Stir flour into sour cream; add to onion mixture. Stir in broth and chili peppers all at once. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Remove from heat; stir in 1/2 cup of the cheese.

For filling, stir 1/2 cup of the sauce into chicken. Place about 1/4 cup filling atop each tortilla; roll up. Arrange rolls, seam side down, in a lightly greased 12 x 7 1/2 x 2 inch baking dish. Top with remaining sauce. Bake, covered, in a 350 degree oven about 35 minutes or until heated through.

Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake, uncovered, about 5 minutes more or until cheese melts. If desired, sprinkle with olives, tomatoes and green onions. Let stand 10 minutes. Makes 4 servings.

Microwave directions: In a 1 1/2 quart casserole micro-cook onion, garlic, coriander, pepper and butter, uncovered, on 100% power (high) for 2-3 minutes or until tender. Stir flour into sour cream; add to onion mixture. Stir in 1 3/4 cups chicken broth and chili peppers. Cook, uncovered, on high for 5-7 minutes or until thickened and bubbly, stirring every minute. Stir in 1/2 cup of the cheese.

Wrap tortillas in paper towels and cook on high for 30-60 seconds or until softened. Assemble filling and enchiladas as above. Arrange rolls, seam side down, in a lightly greased 12 x 7 1/2 x 2 inch baking dish. Top with remaining sauce. Cook, covered with vented plastic wrap, on high for 12-14 minutes or until heated through, giving the dish a half turn once. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. If desired, sprinkle with olives, tomatoes and green onions. Let stand 10 minutes.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
