Hey everybody! Was just wondering if anybody had tried the enchilada casserole? Is there any way to make it with few calories I know I
You use just the enchilada sauce shredded chicken onions lots of cheese & tortillas.... & oil so im going towards using olive oil? Also any ideas as to what you serve it with? Maybe rice?

    I put whole grain pasta in my enchilada casserole and don't do tortillas. its a meal all by itself or you could have a side salad.

    Use the whole wheat tortillas. You could use ground turkey or shredded turkey. Use your reduced fat or non fat cheese. The biggest thing is control your portion size.

    If you are referring to oil as in softening the tortillas in oil, I have used a weight watchers recipe where you soften the tortillas in water really quickly instead of oil. That cuts way back on the oil/fat content.

    You could also serve it with homemade black beans, not canned. They are very healthy. The canned ones a full of sodium :sad: If you do rice go for brown rice. Or maybe do a salad or veggie slaw. That would be yummy!

    edited to add: corn tortilla are pretty healthy. 110 cals for 2 does not seem bad to me.
