Mexican food is one of our family's favorites cuisines and is enjoyed around our table regularly. We love many dishes from across the border, but one of my favorites is chicken enchiladas. This is primarily because of the wonderful flavor of the meal, but the fact that it is relatively simple and fast to prepare sure doesn't hurt!

1 onion,chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 tbsp. oil
1 4 oz. can chopped green chiles
3 cups cooked chicken, shredded
1 10 oz. can enchilada sauce
1/2 cup shredded jalapeno jack cheese
10 corn tortillas
1 cup half-and-half
1 1/2 cups additional jalapeno jack cheese, grated
*Instructions
Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Saute onion and garlic with oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat about 5 minutes.
Add green chiles, chicken, and enchilada sauce; cook 2 minutes.
Stir in 1/2 cup cheese. Remove from heat.
Coat 13x9 baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Microwave tortillas wrapped in damp paper toweling for 1 minute.
Dip each tortilla in warm water, shaking off excess.
