Nutrition & Calorie Comments  

Sounds great but high in fat. I am going to try some subs and see if I am able to cut down the fat and calorie count. Submitted by:

This took me almost 45 minutes to prepare (not 10). Although it is still delicious! I cut it into 1/8ths, so each serving is actually 1.25 servings for calorie calculations. My husband was a huge fan too. Submitted by:

I left out the corn (allergies), substituted low-fat cheese, and didn't use the cilantro (husband doesn't like it), but everything else stayed the same. Delicious!!! Submitted by:

I use corn tortillas, rotisserie chicken. Roast peppers, onions, in oven, add the con last 10 minutes. Layer it in pan with sauce, don't always add salsa, Maybe jalapeno peppers, black olives.
Top with cheese. It's one of the easiest meals to fix.Sometimes leave out corn. Too many carbs with beans. 		Submitted by:

The recipie states this is good for a weeknight MEAL or an appetizer. This is similar to a recipie I already have that I do not make because it is high in calories due to the cheese and tortillas. I would have loved a recipie that had more veggies and a taste alternative to cheese. Submitted by:

Made the mixture using only 2 pans. Mixed the cook chicken and all ingredients and wrapped it in lettuce instead of a FLOUR (high carb low nutrition) wrapper. Served the leftovers on salad with a FEW low card tortilla chips. The mixture tastes GREAT! Submitted by:

Please number the steps; it is hard to read in one big block of text.
"Springform" pans aren't that common...9x9 9x13 etc are

Anyway, I will try adapting some of the ideas from this into the enchilada casserole I already figured out how to make as it is lower calorie. 		Submitted by:

Used 8oz cooked chix; 4 oz Gruyere & 2oz cheddar; jar roasted red peppers for ease; Fiber One 80 calorie wraps. Family thought recipe was incredible, esp. at 251 calories/serving. Followed sparker suggestion & served it w/salad. Submitted by:

I make something similar to this, but it requires WAY fewer steps and it had a heartier portion. This recipe's calorie count is ridiculous because no one is going to only eat 1/10th of this! Flavor combinations are spot on. Cut out the corn and use corn tortillas instead of flour ones! Submitted by:

I haven't tried it but it seems to me that if you tried it and loved it but the portion was too small, you could use some of the other suggestions for reducing calories. Also add a large veggie salad with a low calorie dessing and other side dishes of low cal veggies if you still need more food. Submitted by:

Sounds good, but too much sodium and nowhere to cut it down that I can see. I'll just keep making my own enchiladas and such. Submitted by:

This recipe is so high in fiber and flavor; I have it as a reminder of this combination of ingredients which can be made many ways with and without the tortillas! Submitted by:

One dish meal? Not even close! The number of pans and the number of steps plus the calories = not worth it for me. Submitted by:

The picture looks tempting-
I make something similar with corn tortillas, green enchilada sauce and cheddar/monterey jack cheese... one of my favorite, but not cheep calories wise or dollar wise. 		Submitted by:

I made this for guests and served with crudite (veggies & dip) appetizer and a big tossed salad. Serving size was just right. Great Mexican restaurant flavor without the calories. Submitted by:

This dish was okay, not really worth the fussy preparation and definitely not worth the calories for a reasonable size serving. Did lots of substituting to bring down the calories and omitted the chicken completely.My recommendation is to use the recipe for inspiration & make your own low cal recipe Submitted by:

This was great. I omitted the fennel seed since I didn't have it on hand, and I used corn tortillas, less cheese and only two chicken breasts to cut down on the calorie count. I ate 1/8 instead of 1/10, and it was filling. It did take quite a bit of time to prep though, but it was delicious. Submitted by:

I really wanted to try this but after reading all the comments about it I decided to modify it. I used only 1 large chicken breast, 1/2 can of beans, 2 whole wheat/high fiber tortillas, no corn and a lot more cilantro, adjusted salsa amt. I used a glass pie plate and it came out great.
