About

It's hard to make a light enchilada that tastes great, but these quick and easy enchiladas are pretty close. Just enough cheese to give you that satisfying cheesy taste, and lightened up with chicken breast and lots of veggies. Whole wheat tortillas keep the fat count down, and fiber count up.

Still a bit high in Weight Watchers points, but if you are craving enchiladas, these are really a much lighter version. Kids will love these!
