I love Mexican food. Seriously, I could eat it every day. However, I have noticed that many of the Mexican recipes I love simply are not a good fit with Weight Watchers. Thanks to all of the things that make it taste delicious, like the sauce and the cheese and the fillings, and just everything about it. 

If you are not following Weight Watchers, you can easily make this dish any way you like. You do not have to worry about finding low fat/fat-free items. When you are watching the points on Weight Watchers, you want to find these things. 

Variations to Enchiladas

I have made this recipe several times. When I make it I like to make Chicken because it is a 0 point food. That means I can load it up with the filling and make it so satisfying while not adding in a lot of points. You can add ground chicken or turkey, and if you have extra points, you can also add ground beef.

How Many Points are Enchiladas

This enchilada recipe can be made for as low as 3 points if you can find tortillas that are low in points and if you can fat-free shredded cheese. Since I can not always find either of these, my enchiladas tend to come in at 5 points. Even still, these are so filling, I can usually not even finish a whole one.
