Chicken Enchiladas with Avocado Sauce

½ medium rotisserie chicken

(about 1¼ pounds)

I large avocado

I cup low-fat buttermilk (I use 1/2 cup)

I cup lightly packed fresh cilantro leaves

I small lime

1 small clove garlic (my addition)

⅛ teaspoon salt (I use 1/2 tsp kosher)

⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

I cup store-bought tomatillo salsa

¼ small red onion

8 small corn tortillas (5 inch)

Remove chicken from the bone, discard skin, and shred meat. Set aside.

Place flesh if avocado in the bowl of a food processor along with 1/2 cup (or more) buttermilk, ¼ cup of the cilantro leaves, the juice of the lime (about 1½ tablespoons), 1 tablespoon water, garlic, salt, and pepper. Process until smooth.

Put the salsa in a medium skillet and heat over medium heat until warm. Stir in the shredded chicken and cook until warmed through, about 3 minutes. Meanwhile, thinly slice the onion.

Wrap the tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 45 to 60 seconds, until heated through. Place 2 tortillas on each of 4 serving plates. Spoon about ¼ cup of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla and top with about 1 tablespoon each sliced onion and some cilantro leaves. Roll the tortillas, then pour about ⅓ cup avocado sauce on top of each plate and garnish with the remaining cilantro leaves.
