     1/2  Tsp           ground cumin
   2                    scallions -- thinly sliced

Heat a skillet over medium heat.  Brush tortillas with a dab of butter
and 

salsa, and fry lightly, about 30 seconds on each side.  Set aside.

Preheat oven to 400 F.

Filling:
Heat oil in skillet over medium heat.  Saute garlic, onion, and red and 
green peppers until tender, about 5 minutes.  Remove pan from heat and 
stir in rice, tomato, salt, cumin, chili powder and cheeses.

Spread tortillas on a work surface.  Divide the filling among them, 
placing about 1/3 cup in a line down the center of each.  Spread filling 
and roll up the tortillas.  Place seam side down on a large baking
sheet.  

Bake 10 to 15 minutes, until cheese is melted.  

Meanwhile, prepare sauce.  In blender or food processor, puree garlic, 
jalapeno, and cilantro with the sour cream and yogurt.  Add salsa, salt, 
and cumin; process until smooth.  Pour sauce into a saucepan and stir in 
the scallions.

Just before serving, heat sauce until hot and spoon over the enchiladas.

NOTES : These enchiladas are big on flavor.  You can use the 
simple-to-make cilantro sauce to brighten other dishes, too.
