Number Of Ingredients 13

4 cups torn fresh spinach
salt to taste
1 ½ cups shredded cooked chicken breast
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1 (8 ounce) container nonfat sour cream
¼ cup plain nonfat yogurt
2 tablespoons whole wheat flour
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
½ cup 1% milk
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
6 (7 inch) whole wheat tortillas
½ cup shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add spinach and a splash of water. Season with salt and cook until spinach is wilted, about 5 minutes.
  • Mix chicken, spinach, and green onions together in a large bowl.
  • Combine sour cream, yogurt, flour, salt, and cumin in a medium bowl. Add milk and jalapeno. Mix well. Pour 1/2 the sauce into the chicken mixture. Divide filling among tortillas.
