Chicken Veggie Enchiladas

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
1 Tablespoon of canola oil or butter
1 onion, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
2 fresh mushroom crates
1 pint sour cream*
4 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
16-ounce jar spaghetti sauce, such as Classico
1 garlic clove, minced
12-ounce jar chunky salsa
1 can sliced black olives (optional)
8 large tortillas**

*Can substitute half the sour cream with plain fat-free yogurt to reduce fat.
**Use whole wheat tortillas for a healthier meal.

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a large skillet, saute mushrooms, garlic, diced onion, and bell pepper in oil/butter until slightly tender.
  3. Mix the sour cream and 2 cups of cheese into the vegetables. Stir until melted.
  4. Add spaghetti sauce and shredded chicken. Mix well.
  5. Roll even amounts of the chicken mixture into tortillas and place in a greased baking pan. The tortillas should fit tightly.
  6. Cover all with salsa and remaining 2 cups of cheese. Top with black olives if desired.
  7. Bake uncovered for 20 minutes.
