1cupGreek yogurt - or sour cream which will be higher calories
4ozdiced tomatoes & green chiles - 1 can of Rotel diced chiles
Equipment Needed:
9x13 baking dish
Method:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x13 pan
Mix chicken and 1 cup cheese. Roll up in tortillas and place in pan.
In a sauce pan, melt butter, stir in flour and cook 1 minute. Add broth and whisk until smooth. Heat over medium heat until thick and bubbly. You are making a white sauce
Stir in sour cream or yogurt and chilies. Do not bring to boil, you don't want curdled cream.

Notes and Variations:
When you mix the flour into the melted butter you are making a roux or white sauce.
The original recipe calls for sour cream, but to save a few calories Mittie uses Greek Yogurt instead.
The 4 oz can of Rotel can be found at most stores but if you can’t find it here is a link to get 2 – 10 oz cans on Amazon.
I believe that it in order to do anything in life you MUST understand how it works. Once you understand you can make informed decisions about what you are attempting to do. This is the basis of the creative process. The goal of this blog is to help us understand Food, Health and Cooking. These are things we deal with daily and can't, or shouldn't ignore. - Jughandle
