HEALTHIER CHICKEN ENCHILADAS I RECIPE | ALLRECIPES



Healthier Chicken Enchiladas I Recipe | Allrecipes image

I've always liked this recipe because it is quick and easy. I'm always looking for ways to cut out excess fat so I use reduced-fat cheese and sour cream. I also like to add fiber to make the meal a little healthier for my family so I add black beans and some bell peppers. This also adds color! To make it super healthy I use whole-wheat flour tortillas. And it still tastes just as delicious!

Cook Time 30 minutes

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 onion, chopped
1 cup light sour cream
1 cup shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese
