Ingredients

1 1/2 cups chicken stock, reduced-sodium, defatted

1 cup skim milk

1/2 cup cornstarch

1/2 cup nonfat yogurt, plain

1 can tomatoes, drained and chopped

1 can chopped green chiles, 4 oz. size, drained

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 teaspoon oregano

1/2 teaspoon cumin

salt and pepper, to taste

1 1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil

1 large onion, chopped

1 red pepper, cored, seeded and chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 cups chicken, diced skinless cooked

10 corn tortillas, cut in quarters

1/2 cup cheddar cheese, reduced fat, shredded (sorry, I use regular at this point!)

Directions

Preheat oven to 375. In a saucepan, bring chicken stock to a simmer. In a small bowl, whisk milk into cornstarch to make a smooth paste. Add to the chicken stock and cook, whisking constantly, until thickened and smooth.

Remove from heat and stir in yogurt, tomatoes, chiles,k cilantro, chili powder, oregano and cumin. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onions, red peppers, and garlic; saute for about 3 minutes until tender crisp. Set aside.

Line bottom of a shallow 3-qt. baking dish with half the tortillas. Scatter half the chicken and half the onion mixture over the top. Spoon half the sauce evenly over the top. Top with another layer of tortillas, the remaining chicken, onion mixture, and sauce. Sprinkle with cheese and bake for 25-30 minutes or until it is bubbly.

Can't wait to try this one! I make a enchilada bake similar to this. I'm always looking for new ways to use corn tortillas, Thanks!
