Fajita Chicken

Wrap this chicken in tortillas with whatever extra fillings you enjoy. Delicious! (And much better than that fajita seasoning you buy in packets!)

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

I used black beans and brown rice. I really enjoyed the recipe. - 4/24/09

This is really wonderful, even with me leaving the turkey out. I did the brown rice option for a quick (late!) dinner and it was even better as lunch today. The cumin/cilantro combo is great! - 4/21/09

I added some garlic. Goes together quickly and provides plenty of leftovers for lunch or dinner the next day! - 2/4/10

Really good! Did add 1/4 c. of chicken broth to keep it going as the turkey I use (93.7) is pretty dry. Could also add can of diced tomatoes. I could see traditional eaters like thing recipe and I know I did! Will become a favorite! - 11/13/09
