- 1 rotisserie chicken, shredded and skin removed 16 oz.
- 1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese 110g
- 2, 20 oz. cans red enchilada sauce total 40oz.
- 10 white corn tortillas, Guerra brand, standard size

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. While the oven preheats, remove the chicken from the bone and discard the skin. Add the shredded chicken to a large mixing bowl. Add the cottage cheese and 2 Tbsp. of the enchilada sauce. Mix to fully combine.
- Wrap the tortillas in a damp paper towel and heat in the microwave for 30 seconds. Flip and heat for another 15-20 seconds until the tortillas are soft and pliable.
- Add a small amount of enchilada sauce to cover the bottom of the baking dish. You will split the mozzarella cheese and chicken mixture between all 10 tortillas. Lay out one tortillas and top down the center with cheese and chicken, roll and place in a 9 x 13 inch baking dish. Repeat with all 10 tortillas. (See step-by-step pictures if you need help rolling.) You will have the squeeze them to get all 10 in and that’s ok!
- Once all 10 tortillas a rolled and in the dish, top with the remaining enchilada sauce and shredded Mexican cheese. Place in the oven for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove and serve, top with your favorite enchilada toppings like cilantro, red onion, greek yogurt (higher protein in place of sour cream and a delicious swap), hot sauce and enjoy.
Notes
- You can blend the cottage cheese first if needed but it's not necessary.
- If you want less sauce use 1, 20 oz. can of enchilada sauce.
- You can use King Size or Super Size white corn tortillas but keep in mind they will use up more filling.
