I came up with this tonight to see if I can enjoy enchilada's while trying to cut fats. It turned out to be delicious and did not taste low fat at all Easy tripled or doubled

3 -4 enchiladas (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 boneless skinless chicken breast (cooked and shredded approx 1 cup)
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro (optional)
2 cups fat free salsa
1/3 cup low-fat cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon nonfat sour cream
2 green onions, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon cumin (to taste)
2 tablespoons canned green chilies (i freeze the rest in ice cube trays)
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped (optional)
2 tablespoons low-fat cheddar cheese
2 (7 inch) tortillas (or wraps..the wraps i have are 0.2g saturated fat, and 3 g total)

Directions

1
Make salsa if you are using home made.
2
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
3
Combine cream cheese, sour cream, onions, cumin, cilantro, jalapeno and green chilis.

These are awesome! I may have added a tad more sour cream on top of mine, but who cares - It was low fat! Thanks Marra!

This is outstanding! I'm always in awe of people who can create dishes - I'm not creative and have a need to follow recipes. I was somewhat skeptical about this at the beginning that it would lack the 'promised' high fat taste. I was very pleaantly surprised. I used 2 burrito sized tortillas and only made 2 huge enchiladas. I used 1/2 mild salsa and 1/2 hot salsa. These were a huge hit, and served with fat-free refried beans and a corn and zucchini side dish. Thanks Marra for a great low-fat dish that I will certainly have again and pass along!

EXCELLENT! If you like Enchilladas you will LOVE these! I made 2 large Enchilladas, and ate one and froze one. I wanted to eat both of them, but felt like a pig, so I didn't :D I will definately be passing on this recipe and making many more times in the future... One of the best recipes I have made on Zaar. Made for Zaar Stars Tag Game. ********** Update 11-23-08 I made a 7 batch recipe to make these for my whole family that produced 21 huge enchiladas, as you can see from the pictures. We had 10 adults eating, and all of us had one except my nephew who had 2, as they are so filling. We had half of them leftover and we sent some home with everyone to have for lunch or a snack. They are so delicious!!! I used 2 16 oz. pkgs of cheese, and it wasn't low fat (1 cheddar and one Mexican cheese blend) this time around. I got so many compliments from these from my family and I don't mean they just LIKED them, they LOVED THEM!!! Everyone said they were better than in the Mexican restaurant, and even my BIL who isn't crazy about Mexican, LOVED these!!! I have made these several times now and each time I enjoy them so much. I had with Pot Scrubber's Mexican Rice and that was awesome too, and a great accompaniment to the enchiladas!!! Thanks Marra for taking the time to share this with us here on Zaar! Linda
