Taste of Central Iowa

Last week’s column was submitted before the catastrophe that hit Marshalltown. So, this week know that you continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.

Chicken Enchiladas

1 (8 oz.) container lite sour cream

1 (10 3/4 oz.) can cream of mushroom soup

Spray 13- by 9-inch baking dish with cooking spray. In medium bowl, combine sour cream, yogurt, soup and chilies and mix well. Spoon three tablespoons sour cream mixture down center of each tortilla. Reserve 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese. Add cheese over mixture in each tortilla. Roll and place in baking dish, seam down. Spread remaining sour cream mixture over tortillas. Cover with foil and bake for 25 to 30 minutes in a 350 degree oven. Remove foil and sprinkle with reserved cheese. Bake, uncovered, 5 minutes. Serve on top of shredded lettuce and chopped tomatoes with 1/2 cup salsa per person.
