Low Fat Chicken Enchiladas

If you're an enchilada lover like me, you will love these!! Enchiladas are usually my dish of choice when I go out for Mexican and this recipe is as good as any recipe you'll find in a restaurant (if not better) without all the fat! Use the homemade enchilada sauce that I posted earlier if you are feeling adventurous! You can serve these with some yellow rice and efried beans to create an entire meal.
