Chipotle Garlic Chicken Enchiladas

1 pound chicken breasts
4 flour tortillas or white wraps (whole foods makes a great Lavash, low cal too!)
1 minced serrano pepper

Grill or poach chicken breasts, shred chicken then divide into 4 servings.  Roll chicken into wraps/tortillas and place in 9x9 pan.  Add serrano pepper to enchilada sauce and shake.  Pour sauce over enchiladas, cook @ 400 degrees for 25-30 min.

Don't forget to oil your pan!  You can also sprinkle the top of the enchiladas with mexican cheese, but they don't need it.

*The longer you let the serrano pepper sit in the enchilada sauce the hotter it will get.  I like to add mine the night before and store in the fridge.
