Who doesn't love spicy, hot-from-the-oven enchiladas? Try this light Kimkins version as a delicious alternative to the high carb & calorie laden platter at your local restaurant.

Preheat oven to 350 F. Treat a 9x9" baking dish with cooking spray.

In large mixing bowl add shredded chicken, salsa, sour cream, cheese, chives and spices. Mix well, set aside.

Make 8 "tortilla" crepes: Coat small nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Over medium heat pour in 1/8 of the egg mixture tilting to coat the bottom of the pan. Cook until set (cover if necessary), loosen with spatula and slide onto a warm plate.

In the center of the "tortilla" place 1/8 of the chicken mixture and roll up each "enchilada". Place seam side down in the baking pan and repeat.

Top enchiladas with remaining salsa, sprinkle evenly with cheddar cheese and olives.

Bake for 15-20 minutes until heated through and cheese has melted. Garnish with chives if desired, serve & enjoy!
