Santa Fe Chicken
This is originally a WW recipe, but like I do with all recipes, I had to make it my own. One of the first and most important modifications is to eliminate the spices called for in the original recipe. I skipped them all, and substituted with Pilsen seasoning. It was a hundred times better and soooo good!

More About This Recipe
I made a ‘paste’ of reduced fat sour cream and cilantro in the tube (sold in produce departments) and spread a thin amount on the tortilla, then added the fillings. I then squeezed some fresh lime on the fillings and WOW, it was phenomenal! FYI the original submission calls for this to be cooked in a crockpot for several hours. I have tried that method and far prefer the flavor of the oven baked. It really does make a difference.
Hi Constance,
The herb used as garnish is fresh oregano. We recommend trying some of our dried Mexican oregano or Greek oregano as a garnish for this dish.
What is the green herb on the top in the photo? I fixed this more as a soup last week, and it was delicious. Fixing again tonight by request from my husband, he loved last weeks so much. I used the meat off of a roasted chicken carcass that we ate last night. So easy.
