This recipe was great for a low calorie/low fat enchilada. I doubled the recipe and used corn tortillas for half and jalepeno & cilantro low fat flour tortillas for the other half. This gave it a litte more kick! I also put onions on top of the chicken mixture, and changed the cheese to a reduced fat Mexican cheese. I wouldn't agree with them tasting like they are from a restaurant, but if you are looking for something new for dinner it is worth a try!
