I am not feeling too well today and I have a sick kid, the joys of mother-hood!
I was going to make something a little more challenging today but I really wanted Mexican so tonight's dinner Enchiladas. I wanted to make these on the lower calorie side since (as I have done for all of my life) I am watching what I am eating. I figure these have about 350 calories each. These are pretty easy to make but they do need to bake in the oven for about 35-40 minutes so they are not what I consider a 15 minute meal.
2 large green pepper julienned
1 large onion cut thinly into rings
1 chicken breast minced
Saute green pepper and onion in a little olive oil until it starts to brown, add the chicken cook until veggies are tender and chicken is cooked. Heat oven to 350.
Add 1 cup of Enchilada Sauce ( I used President's Choice Fajita sauce) and
1 can of refried beans ( I used refried Kidney beans, yes from a can!)
Mix together until heated thoroughly.
Set out 6 whole wheat tortilla shells
Divide mixture into 6 servings placing each in the middle of the tortilla.
Wrap tortillas and place in a 8X10 casserole dish.
Top with 1 cup of grated cheese and 1 jar of your favorite Salsa
Bake for 35-40 minutes, serves with a little cilantro sprinkled on top and sour cream on the side.
My husband said these were awsome! and he never lies.
