Transfer the vegetables to a blender along with the ground red chile, cumin, salt and pepper. Puree all until smooth. Set aside.

For chicken, combine paprika with the second cumin and ground chile in a small bowl. Add oil and water mixing to form a paste. Generously pat this spice paste on teh chicken breasts. Grill or broil chicken breasts 3-5 minutes on each side or until juices run clear when pierced with a fork. Cool and slice each breast into 4 long strips.

For enchiladas, lay the tortillas on a flat surface. Place 2 chicken trips, 4 T cheese and 1 T green chile on each tortilla. Roll and place in a 9x13 inch baking pan. Cover with sauce and top with the remaining cheese.

Reduce oven heat to 350 and cook enchiladas for 15-20 minute sor unil the cheese is melted and sauce is bubbly. Garnish each serving with nonfat sour cream if desired.

I love to cook and to eat healthy, but that doesn't always happen! I would say we eat very healthy 80% of the time. The rest of the time we like to splurge with recipes so good they are worth every calorie. So if you have some worthy of their calories please share! Life is meant to be enjoyed! Here's to enjoying life!
