Add cheese, jalapenos, and cilantro to the chicken mixture and remove from heat. Lightly spray a cookie sheet with Pam veggie spray and place corn tortillas on sheet. Bake at 300 degrees just longer enough to soften -- 3-4 minutes .Remove tortillas from oven and, one at a time, place a 12th of the chicken mixture in each and roll up, setting them in a baking dish (a rectangular dish is perfect). Once they're all in the dish, pour the sauce evenly over all; sprinkle 2 oz. of grated cheese on top and bake at 300 degrees for about 20 minutes (cheese on top should be melted).Serve with lettuce, lime slices, low fat yogurt, low fat sour cream or pico de gallo.
