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

My whole family loves quesadillas. This is a great recipe and I can sneak a few veggies in!! - 9/18/17

I LOVE these things! I typically use pickled jalapenos instead of green chili's but that's a personal preference. I'll also use any type of shredded cheese I have on hand. The new Kraft cheese with Philadelphia cream cheese is GREAT but not very calorie friendly! lol - 12/12/10

My family really liked this recipe. I used fat free tortillas and fat free sour cream. For my own plate I left off the sour cream and salsa bringing my calories down to 284 for 1 quesadilla. My husband and kids loved the sour cream and salsa with it. I will definately make this recipe again. - 9/23/09
