Eat Enchiladas!

This morning two of my sisters and I went to downtown LA to go shopping and I was more enticed by the food carts! I wanted to eat sooooo~ bad but my sisters were reminding me to stay focused on the clothes (which I ended up only buying a couple pieces that were too small for me and taking clothes from my parents' wholesale store).

This is what I saw...I didn't want to be too obvious that I was taking pictures of their food but now I wish I took better pictures:
(LEFT) Fresh squeezed OJ. (RIGHT) Pork Quesadillas with home made tortillas!

Danger Dogs! YuMmY! This lady had a bucket of homemade salsa that had fresh avocados chunks in them. MMM, I could taste the bacon wrapped sausages with grilled onions, peppers with mayo and mustard with that salsa in my mouth as I wished I could be in that line.

  I couldn't eat any of that b/c we were limited in our parking and had to stay focused on all the awesome $5 deals for clothes that sell at Forever 21 and Nordstrom and such...

so....~ what did I do when I got home? I made homemade enchiladas! why is there a missing piece?
B/c my sister and my brother in-law swiped one while I was cooling it!
Verdict: YuMmY!!! They couldn't stop eating it and were late to meet their friends...came back to put red onions on top and took a bite, then came back to add jalapenos and took another bite. I added guacamole and it was delish.
Recipe:
Ingredients: 
Corn tortilla, sour cream (low fat), cottage cheese, garlic salt, pepper, green sauce, and market rotisserie chicken (I like lemon pepper), shredded cheddar or Mexican cheese, olives, onions, green onions, and chopped tomatoes.

Preparation
Mix 1 cup (eyeball measures) sour cream and 1 cup cottage cheese with pepper and garlic salt. Pull apart the rotisserie chicken for easy loading into the tortillas. Heat a pan to heat the tortillas so that it gets flimsy. I line the baking tray with green sauce and then I just throw the heated tortillas in the tray to load with the sour cream/cottage cheese mix and chicken with a splash of green sauce.  I roll it up so that the seam is to the bottom and then keep going until the tray is filled. I also keep lining the bottom of the tray with green sauce along the way. Pour green sauce generously on top of the rolled enchiladas. 
Finally, top with shredded cheese, chopped tomatoes, onions, green onions, and olives.

Bake
350 degrees for 25 minutes or until cheese is melted and ENJOY!

Does the cottage cheese turn you off? It's healthier for you and you can't taste the difference! I use to use only cottage cheese and it was just as good but the mixed sour cream has a wonderful creaminess to the texture. As Dr. Seuss' Sam I am would say "Try it, try it you will see!"
