I found a recipe on KraftFoods.com (my favorite site!) for this recipe. After completely altering it like I always do, it's down to 415 calories a serving - room for half a cup of Mexican rice too! :glasses:

(Kind of) Kraft Foods - Chicken & Sour Cream Enchiladas

Ingredients:
1 Cup Fat Free Sour Cream
1 ½ Cups 2% Milk Shredded Mexican Cheese Blend (Divided)
2 Cups Diced Chicken
1 Jar Corn and Black Bean Salsa (Divided)
3 Tablespoons Taco Seasoning
10 6” Flour Tortillas

Mix sour cream, cheese, chicken and half a jar of the salsa with taco seasoning to taste (for me, 3 Tablespoons).
Fill each tortilla with approximately ¼ cup of the mixture.
Roll the tortillas and place, seams side down, in a casserole dish.
Spread the remaining salsa on top of the tortillas.
Bake at 350 for 25 minutes.
At 25 minutes, remove and spread remaining ½ cup of cheese on top.
Bake for an additional 5 minutes or until cheese is bubbly.

Nutrition per serving (two enchiladas – and they are filling!!)
Calories: 415
Fat: 11
Carbs: 47
Fiber: 4
Protein: 30

These are seriously so easy. My non-chef-skilled boyfriend made them without me!! I love Mexican food so this will definitely be a healthy go-to for me. They’re entered in the database too. Too good not to share – enjoy!

    Wow nice! I was actually trying to find a recipe with a lot of sour cream (I have leftovers from a Superbowl party) so that's probably what increased the calories!

    I use neufchatel cream cheese instead of sour cream to make it creamy - I only use a few tablespoons and it goes a long way. And just like the one you posted, I add salsa for extra flavor. Its great when you can enjoy the enchilada and some rice too. I hate when the main dish is so high in calories, that you can't enjoy sides.

    It bumps the topic to the top of the forum so more people see it, and it also saves it in your "my topics" tab for viewing later.


    This recipe sounds soooooo good!

    That's a good idea!

    I actually made Hungry Girl Guacamole and instead of sour cream she has you use non-fat greek yogurt... maybe you could use that in place of the sour cream??? I don't know if that would help bring the calories down also or not?? :-) would be worth a shot though!

    My boyfriend would live on pizza, double bacon cheeseburgers and BBQ if he could and he LOVED these. We had the leftovers the next night! haha

    Make your own egg white crepes and you'll drop the calories even more, up the protein further, and cut out a ton of carbs. They are sturdy, light, and airy. Yum!
