26 Reviews of Low Fat Chicken Enchiladas With High Fat Taste.

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

    Ok, I have to admit I didn't use the low fat Cheddar, I used Mexican Blend in the ziploc bag, and I used 1/3 less fat cream cheese . The results for us were outstanding! Full of flavor and a dish I will be making many times down the road. This was a real treat for us!

    Terrific! I'm so glad I can have enchiladas again ... I used Trader Joe's new(ish) low-carb whole wheat tortillas; I tweaked it a little bit by cutting back on the cream cheese and supplementing it with nonfat yogurt. Threw in some diced miscellaneous veggies in addition to the chicken, to raise the fiber (and lower the WW points). This was just terrific, and a real treat. Thanks for posting this!

    You are right, no one knew these were low fat. I took them to a super bowl party so that I would have something there I knew wouldn't totally kill my diet. The men devoured these, I didn't even get one. So, I guess I got to make them again soon. Thanks. made for best of 2008 tag game.

    This tasted great!! We doubled this and used Salsa Pronto for the salsa and left out the jalapeno as we made the salsa hot. This was extremely yummy and easy to make and definitely has high fat taste! Thanks for sharing a great recipe that the whole family enjoyed and still fits into my healthier eating plan!!

    I didn't suse low fat anything to make these and made using Mexican cheese blend cheese, because that's what I had on hand. These were chuck full of chicken, just the way we like them. I doubled the recipe to freeze some for later. These were amazing! Topped with sour cream and salsa we enjoyed them so much! I made Mexican Cornbread to go with them and we were very happy during this meal! Thanks Marra!

    Aaaaugggggghhhhhh...this is as smooth as a babies blanket and savory as only truly Mexican food can be. I used a "high octane" salsa, as we (me) love very hot food, and all the rest stayed the same. I included seeds in my pepper. This is wonderful for so many reasons, but most especially, the ease in which this delightful dish can be put together and the ooze of the cheese at it melts right into the the enchiladas. Oh my I also garnished with extra green onions and some more low fat sour cream. Terrific, MarraMamba. Will make this very often!

    I took a few liberties with the recipe using red chili sauce in place of the salsa and yogurt for sour cream. The tortillas were white corn. This was topped off with additional plain yogurt. It was served with a side salad and Spanish Yellow Rice.
