- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ten Aunt Rocky’s All Purpose Tortillas (see my TK recipe box)

Preparation
Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Spray a 9×13 glass baking dish with cooking spray. If the wraps are cold, place them in the microwave for a few seconds at a time to bring them to room temperature.
Place the tomatillo sauce, sour cream, cilantro, and garlic powder in a blender and blend until smooth. Spread about 1/2 cup of the sauce mixture in the bottom of the baking dish.
On a dinner-size plate, place a tortilla. Put 2 ounces of chicken in the center of the tortilla. Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper and pour 1 tablespoon of sauce over the chicken. Sprinkle with a small amount of cheese. Roll up and place in baking dish seam side down. Repeat until you have built all 10 enchiladas.
Spoon remaining sauce over top of enchiladas, spreading to get sauce on each. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
Bake 30 minutes or until cheese begins to brown. Serve immediately.
Makes 10 enchiladas. Leftovers can be frozen or stored in the fridge for up to a week.
