Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Low-fat corn tortillas
- 2 cups, shredded Reduced-fat cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Low-fat cottage cheese
- 2 cups Enchilada sauce
- 1 can Olive oil spray
- 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 medium, chopped Green bell pepper
- 0.25 cup, chopped Cilantro
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with olive oil spray.
In a non-stick pan over medium heat, apply a light spray of olive oil. Add the chopped onion, garlic, and green bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
In a bowl, combine the sautéed vegetables with the shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese and low-fat cottage cheese. Mix in the cilantro, salt, and black pepper.
Warm the corn tortillas in the microwave for about 30 seconds to make them more pliable.
Spread about 1/4 cup of the cheese and vegetable mixture onto each tortilla. Roll them up tightly and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas.
Sprinkle any remaining cheese on top of the sauce.
Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
