Cream Cheese Chicken Enchiladas

*1 jar (8oz) salsa, divided
*8 (6 inch) flour tortillas
*3/4 pound (12 oz) Velveeta(R) pasteurized process cheese spread, cut up
*1/4 milk

1. Stir chicken, bell pepper, cream cheese and 1/2 cup salsa in saucepan on low heat until cream cheese is melted.
2. Spoon 1/3 cup chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla; roll up. place seam side down in lightly greased 12x8 inch baking dish.
3. Stir process cheese spread and milk on low heat until smooth. pour sauce over tortillas; cover with foil.
4. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until thoroughly heated. pour remaining salsa over tortillas.
