The 'skinny' on enchilada's!

Oh my goodness, a must share recipe that I made last night (adapted from a recipe I found on she-fit.com) If you are like me and love Enchiladas but hate the calories they come with, then this one is for you!



The Vegetarian Skinny Enchilada:


Ingredients

Enchilada Filling:

  • 9 whole wheat tortillas 
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Quorn Chik'n Tenders
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
  • 1/2 cup diced canned tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cups shredded Mexican cheese
  • Salt, pepper, cumin and garlic powder to taste
Enchilada Sauce:
  • 3/4 cup salsa
  • 1/4 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup shredded Mexican cheese

Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Lightly spray a 9×13 inch-baking dish with non-stick spray. 
  3. Saute onions and bell peppers in a small skillet using cooking spray until onions are lightly brown.
  4. Once sauteed vegetables are cool mix with non-fat greek yogurt, tomatoes, salt, pepper, garlic, cumin, Quorn Chik'n Tenders, and cheese.
  5. Spread about 1/4 cup of the mixture in the middle of each tortilla and roll them up. Place enchilada seam side down into baking dish.
  6. Mix Salsa and greek yogurt in a small bowl and spread evenly on top of the enchiladas.
  7. Sprinkle cheese on top.
  8. Place foil over dish and bake Skinny Enchiladas for 15-20 minutes.

*Makes 9 servings. Around 180 calories per enchilada.

I served them with 1/2 cup refried beans to amp up the protein even more and 1/2 cup brown rice.  A delicious, and more healthy version of your typical Mexican meal. Enjoy!
