Place 1/4 cup mixture down center of each tortilla and place seam side down in 2 greased 13x9x2 in. baking dishes. Combine soup, sour cream, milk and chilies; pour over enchiladas. Baked, uncovered at 350° for 30-40 minutes or until bubbly. Sprinkle with cheese and bake 5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Enjoy!

I used all low fat ingredients in this recipe to help it not be such a "girdle buster". :-) My family didn't notice a thing and the recipe was still so rich that one enchilada was very satisfying.

"The hostess who thinks of her party as a gift to her friends can't go wrong - a gift of people with whom they'll have fun - a gift of food they will enjoy - a gift of herself by having that food ready to serve without confusion - and a gift of confidence by letting them know what kind of a party is planned and how to dress for it."
