Creamy Chicken Enchiladas

Can you belive these are LOW FAT???  They are so yummy too!

Ingredients:
1-1/2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded into bite-sized pieces

4 cups torn fresh spinach leaves
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1 (8 oz) carton of nonfat sour cream
1/4 cup plain, nonfat yogurt
2 tablespoons whole grain flour
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup 1% milk
1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced
6 whole wheat tortillas, 6-8 inches in diameter
1 1/2 low-fat shredded cheddar cheese

Directions:
1. In a medium sized saucepan, cook fresh spinach with a small amount of water, covered, for 5 minutes on medium-high heat.

2. In a large bowl, combine cooked chicken, spinach and green onions. Mix well and set aside.
3. Make the sauce: In a medium sized bowl, combine sour cream, yogurt, flour, cumin and salt. Add milk and jalapeo pepper and mix well.
4. Pour half the sauce into the chicken and spinach mixture and mix well. Divide the filling among the tortillas. Fold opposite ends of a tortilla up about 1 inch over filling then fold the left and right sides over the folded end, overlapping.
5. Place filled tortillas, seam sides down on an (ungreased) rectangular baking dish.
6. Spoon remaining sauce over the tortillas and bake, uncovered, in a 350 degrees F oven for about 20 minutes or until heated through.
7. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese and let stand for 5 minutes.
8. Top with salsa and chopped green onions as desired and serve
