   16      ounces        low-fat sour cream
    7      ounces        green chiles -- diced
    4      large         green peppers -- chopped
      1/2  cup           cilantro -- fresh, chopped
    1 1/2  teaspoons     ground cumin
    2      cups          chicken white meat -- cooked and diced
    8      ounces        lowfat cheddar cheese -- grated
    8                    flour tortillas -- 8-inch diameter
    8      ounces        light cream cheese -- cut in 8 long strips
   24      ounces        picante sauce -- or salsa
 
 Preheat oven to 350-degrees F.  Grease a 13- by 9- by 2-inch baking disk.
 
 Mix 1 3/4 cups sour cream, chilies, green onions, 1/2 cup cilantro and
 cumin in a large bowl.  Mix in chicken and one cup of the cheddar cheese.
 Sean the filling to taste with salt and pepper.
 
 Spoon 1/2 cup filling down the center of each tortilla.  Top the filling
 with a cream cheese strip.  Roll up each tortilla and arrange seam-side
 down in the baking dish.
 
 Pour salsa or picante sauce over the enchiladas.  Cover and bake until
 sauce bubbles and enchiladas are heated through, about 45 minutes.
 
 Uncover, sprinkle with the remaining cup of cheddar cheese and bake until
 cheese melts, about 5 minutes.
 
 Top with remaining sour cream.  Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.
