Light Chicken Enchiladas

This has been our go-to dish for months now... Because it's delicious!!

You can see the nutritional breakdown on the bottom of this post...that way you can easily take into account the tortillas you're using. 

I know it seems like there are a lot of steps and a lot of ingredients to the recipe...but there's not. 

The trick is to cook the sauce and the filling ingredients at the same time... Many of the ingredients are the same. For example when you chop your onion, 1/4 of the onion goes for the sauce and the rest for the filling. 

Feel free to also add more or less of the chipotle peppers depending on your love of spice. They add a really yummy smokiness to the enchiladas. 

Hope you guys love the recipe as much as we do!
