I agree with rmurphy41808. This recipe should not be in the healthy catagory.

To make even healthier I use whole wheat tortillas and substitute the sour cream with non-fat plain greek yogurt. These are extremely easy to make and taste delicious.

I really liked this "lighter" version and I made two pans and froze one since there are only two of us. I did not bake the one I was going to freeze because everything was basically cooked. When I thawed and heated the frozen one, I did so on a very low heat (325) for about 40 minutes. That way my low-fat sour cream and soup didn't separate as much. Great recipe!

Brown your chicken in either taco seasoning or enchilada seasoning, like Schilling

Good, grief, people, a serving is 2 enchiladas. Just have one and you're fine.
The easiest way to make this recipe healthier is 1/2 the cheese and sour cream. Carb wise, use smaller tortillas... Otherwise, Yum!

i spiced up mine by adding some chopped jalapenos with the mixture and pan frying the chicken in crushed red peppers and i found some jalapeno chedder wraps that make these perfect.

It was a little bland for my tastes so I think the next time I make this, I will add some seasonings to spice it up.
