Baked Chicken & Cheese Enchiladas

I have made this several times and we have gobbled it up! Using rotisserie chicken saves time and effort.

Ingredients:
1 (8 oz) block cream cheese
2 cups cooked chicken, chopped
1 (4 oz) can diced green chiles
1/4 to 1/2 cup onion, chopped
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
3 cups (12 oz) shredded cheese, divided (Monterey Jack, Colby-Jack, Cheddar, etc.)
10 (6 in) corn tortillas
1 (14.5 oz) can petite diced tomatoes with green chiles
1 (15 oz) can hunts tomato sauce
1/2 cup whipping cream

Instructions:
Stir together first 6 ingredients and 1 cup cheese in large bowl until mixed thoroughly. Heat tortillas in microwave according to package directions. Spoon about 1/3 cup chicken mixture down center of each warm tortilla and roll up. Place in lightly greased 9x13 baking dish. Cook diced tomatoes, tomato sauce and cream in 1 1/2 to 2 quart saucepan over med-high heat until thoroughly heated. Pour tomato mixture evenly over tortillas, spreading to cover ends of tortillas. Sprinkle dish with remaining cheese. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes or until cheese melts and tomato mix bubbles. Garnishes: sour cream, shredded lettuce, sliced/chopped olives, sliced/chopped jalapenos, etc.
