METHOD

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Spray 1-qt. (1 L) shallow casserole with no-stick cooking spray; set aside.

  2. Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium-high heat and brown chicken, stirring occasionally. Stir in red peppers, onion and garlic, then Mexican Spice Mix. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in 1/2 of the diced tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is completely cooked, about 5 minutes. Let cool slightly.

  3. Spoon chicken mixture onto tortillas. Roll up tortillas and arrange seam side down in prepared casserole. Top with remaining diced tomatoes.

  4. Combine Mexican crema with Hellmann's® or Best Foods® Real Mayonnaise. Spoon 1/2 of the crema mixture on enchiladas, then sprinkle with cheese.

  5. Bake 20 minutes or until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbling. Let stand 3 minutes, then top with remaining crema mixture. Serve, if desired, with hot cooked rice and guacamole.
