Skinny Enchilada

Ok, so I didn't have a lot of points left today so I wanted something filling that was low in points. I did some searching around and I found these awesome enchiladas. They are only 5-4points a piece (depending on the tortillas you use). The original recipe is here but I changed a few things.



Ingredients

Skinny Enchilada Filling
9 Tortillas (low Carb La Tortilla)
1 1/2 cups shredded cooked chicken breast meat
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped red and green bell peppers
1/2 cup Non-Fat Greek Yogurt
1/2 cups Shredded Low-Fat 4 Cheese Mexican Cheese

Skinny Enchilada Sauce
3/4 cup Salsa
1/4 cup Non-Fat Greek Yogurt
1/4 cup Low-Fat Shredded Cheese


Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and Lightly spray a 9×13 inch-baking dish with non-stick spray.

2. Sautee onions and bell peppers in a small skillet using cooking spray till onions are lightly brown

3. Mix sautéed veggie's with non-fat greek yogurt, chicken, and cheese

4. Spread 1/4 cup chicken mixture in the middle
of each tortilla and roll into a small burrito. Place seam down into baking dish

5. Mix Salsa and greek yogurt in a small bowl and spread evenly onto of tortillas, Sprinkle Cheese throughout

6. Place foil over dish and bake Skinny Enchiladas for 15-20 minutes.

Notes:
I use red and green pepper for added taste and color.
The less chunky the Salsa the better the end product will look.

Chicken Fajitas

Last night I made Chicken Fajitas from skinnytaste.com but made a few taste bud changes. The recipe calls for green peppers but my family isn't too fond of them so I went with red, yellow and orange peppers. I also took out the chili because of the extra peppers. Here is the original recipe.
