Crab Enchiladas
The cool flavor of the crab filling and the spiciness of the sauce make for an amazing enchilada.

Enchilada Sauce:
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 chopped onion
3 cloves chopped garlic
1 can (14.5 ounce) no-salt added diced tomatoes
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
Crab Filling:
16 ounces crab (If no fresh crab is available use 2-6 oz. cans)
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies
2 ounces softened low-fat cream cheese
1/2 cup non-fat plain Greek style yogurt
