Chicken and Cheese Enchiladas—Always a Great Mexican Dish.
The enchiladas can be made with about 1⁄2 pound prebrowned ground beef in place of the chicken for variety. Or you can skip the meat and simply double the amount of cheese.

Ingredients
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Combine the onion, garlic, and 2 tablespoons of the oil in a 1-quart saucepan. Stirring occasionally, cook over medium heat until the onion turns translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the tomato sauce, oregano, and salt. Reduce the heat to low and cook, uncovered, for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, season the chicken with the garlic salt and pepper and put it in a medium nonstick skillet, along with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Heat for about 10 minutes over medium-low heat. Remove the meat to a bowl, and warm the tortillas in the same pan for about 15 seconds a side. Divide the chicken and the chilies among the tortillas. Roll the tortillas up and place them in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish that has been coated with cooking spray. Cover with the tomato sauce, and sprinkle with the grated cheese. Cover and bake for about 15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Top with sour cream, if desired.
