Low-Fat Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas With Creamy Green Chile Sauce

My favorite dish at a local Mexican restaurant is their Chicken Enchiladas with Creamy Green Chile Sauce. I had to try and find a way to lower the fat and sodium so I could enjoy these without the guilt! I tweaked that recipe a bit to lower the sodium and fat, and came up with a winner! My husband and teen daughter gobble these up!Submitted by: BETHPROVERBS31

This was super good!! I added chopped yellow & red bell peppers & jalapenos, omitted the salsa & sour cream & used the Reduced Fat Cilantro dressing from Trader Joes. Also heated up some frozen corn & tossed in w/ the lite mexican cheese blend. Amazing! Will definitely make again! - 5/1/12
