Clean Eating Avocado Enchiladas



I have always used a friend's recipe for enchiladas. They are really good, but they call for 10 white flour tortillas, 1lb of cheese, 1/2 cup of heavy cream, 1 cup of sour cream, and a package of cream cheese......BAD!!!!!  I decided I wanted to clean them up a bit. They of course do not taste like the original recipe, but they do the trick and are very good! I served them with clean refried black beans and clean cilantro-lime corn.

If you are having a get together and serving this meal, you might try clean 7-layer dip or clean nachos for an appetizer!


Clean Eating Avocado Enchiladas
1.5 pounds of cooked and shredded chicken breast
6-8 whole wheat tortillas
1 RIPE avocado smashed
3oz of 1/3 less fat cream cheese
1 cup of FF Greek yogurt
1 small can of green chilies 
1 tablespoon of Mrs. Dash Garlic and Herb
2 tablespoons of ground cumin 
1/2 teaspoon of salt 
1/2 cup of low fat shredded cheddar

Preheat oven to 375. Grease a 9x9 glass baking dish with olive oil spray.

Add avocado, cream cheese, greek yogurt, Mrs. Dash, cumin, green chilies and salt in a bowl and stir until fully mixed. Add chicken and mix until fully blended. 

Add about 1/2 a cup of chicken to each tortilla and roll up. Add tortillas side by side to the baking dish. Sprinkle cheddar cheese to the top of the enchiladas.

Cook for about 25 -30 minutes.

Note: next time I am going to mix the cheddar with some greek yogurt to make the cheese on top more creamy. We shall see.
