Skinny Enchiladas

I saw this recipe on Pinterest and knew it would be a hit at our house.  I also think next time I might try to turn it into a vegetarian dish. You can find the original recipe here.  My version (although it is not very different) is below.  I think the best thing about this dish was the surprisingly quick prep time! Additionally, I read it freezes well so would be a good thing to whip together one night while you are already cooking to save yourself the fuss a night you will be more busy! 

Skinny Enchiladas 
 

*yields about 8-10 servings.

*approximately 7 weight watchers points per serving (will be different depending on how many layers you make)

Ingredients:

-Two chicken breast, cooked with taco seasoning and shredded 

-1 can of diced tomatoes

-1 small can enchilada sauce (about 3/4 cup) *I like the green

-1/2 cup of low fat cottage cheese

-1 can of corn (14 oz)

-1 can of black beans (14 oz)

-6 High fiber small tortillas

-1 cup of vegetable broth

-1.5-2 cups of shredded mexican blend cheese

Optional:

-Black Olives

-Sour cream

-Green Onion

 

Directions:

1)  Preheat oven to 375 and spray casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.

2) In a medium bowl mix chicken with first 4 ingredients   **In order to get a good consistency with the cottage cheese I used an immersion blender to smooth it out.  If you do not have an immersion blender I would recommend using half cottage cheese and half softened low fat cream cheese. 

 

3) In a separate small bowl, mix the corn and black beans together.

 

4) Pour the vegetable broth in a shallow bowl and soak tortilla shell one by one in broth (just like you are making french toast).  Place two of the broth soaked tortillas in the bottom of the casserole dish. You will layer the chicken mixture on top and then the corn and black beans mixture  Next, layer 2 more tortillas on top and continue to layer.  **I used 6 tortillas total and ended with the top being one layer of tortillas. 

 

5) When done layering sprinkle shredded cheese on top.  Place in over and bake for about 25-30 minutes or until bubbly.  

 

6)  If you desire to serve with any of the optional ingredients then place on each serving once the casserole has been removed from the over and sliced.
