Easy Enchiladas, Chicken or Vegetarian

I've been trying to use less meat in our dinners since, for one thing, it's expensive, and for another, we're told to use it sparingly, especially in summer. Instead of chicken, I used a can of refried beans and a can of black beans. This was a very fast dinner to make, and it was very yummy. If you want to use chicken instead of beans, I'm sure that would taste even better.

-------------------------------------------
2 cups cubed cooked chicken
1 package cream cheese, softened
8 flour tortillas (or 10 corn tortillas)
1 cup plain yogurt or sour cream
1 cup salsa
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 can sliced ripe olives, drained
Shredded lettuce and chopped tomatoes
-------------------------------------------

In a small bowl, combine chicken and cream cheese. Spoon about 1/4 cp chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla; roll up tightly. Place seam side down in a greased 13"x19" baking dish.

In a small bowl, combine yogurt and salsa; spread over tortillas. Bake, uncovered, at 350 F for 20 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese and olives. Bake 10-15 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Serve with lettuce and tomatoes if desired.
