How to Make Green Chile Enchiladas

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a baking dish.

2. In a bowl, mix the shredded rotisserie chicken with cottage cheese and diced green chiles. This is your creamy, protein loaded filling.

3. In a separate bowl, stir together sour cream, green salsa, ½ cup of the cheddar cheese, and taco seasoning. This becomes your flavorful enchilada sauce.

4. Spoon the chicken mixture into the low carb tortillas and roll them up tightly. Place them seam side down in the prepared baking dish.

5. Pour the sour cream and salsa sauce over the top of the enchiladas, spreading it out evenly.

6. Sprinkle the remaining sharp cheddar cheese all over the top.

7. Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden and bubbly.
