Preheat oven to 350

3 prepared and fully cooked chicken breasts, shredded

1 small can diced green chilies

1 large can enchilada sauce (choose your heat)

1 package organic large white corn tortillas (at least 10)

Shredded organic sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

In a large rectangle baking dish, pour enchilada sauce in bottom, about ¼ can. Start dipping tortillas in the sauce until covered and stack on one side of the pan. More sauce may have to be added as you work. This is a fun, messy, all-by-hand cooking project. Grab some shredded chicken and place in center of tortilla, add a little green chilies and shredded cheese to your liking. Roll up tortillas and place on opposite side of pan seam side down. Continue to stuff and press rolled tortillas against each other. You will run out of room and need to place tortillas on top of completed enchiladas. Continue this process until pan is full of completely rolled and stuffed enchiladas. Pour more sauce over the enchiladas and shredded cheese. Bake uncovered for about 20 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly. Garnish with fresh avocado and plain Greek yogurt.

SIDE BAR: Spicy Food Increases Metabolism Naturally

Everyone wants to burn fat faster and increase metabolism naturally. Eating spicy foods and especially peppers dials up the metabolism a few notches. Peppers come from the capsicum family and red peppers are especially high in the active component capsaicin. Capsaicin is also known for decreasing appetite which helps with that urge to overeat. Boosting our metabolism with food is not only healthier but also saves money for those considering handing over lots of cash for unregulated fat burners.
