Low-Fat Fish or Chicken Enchiladas

I found a healthy recipe for chicken enchiladas and decided to alter the recipe using ingredients I always have as staples in my kitchen. Many times I find something I want to make, but never seem to have all the ingredients needed. In this case I got creative, pulled out my favorite spices and whipped up these low-fat enchiladas in under 30minutes. It was easy to make, took little time to cook and each enchilada is approximately 150 calories and under 5 g fat! If you are not a fan of fish you can substitute the same amount using chicken as well. This recipe makes 4 enchiladas.

Low-Fat Fish Enchiladas

Fish mixture:
8 oz cooked fish (tilapia or white fish) I use my fish I have cooked from the crock pot as it is very tender
1/2 15oz can no salt added diced tomatoes (Dole basil & oregano is my favorite)
1 tsp garlic powder
1/8 cayenne pepper or chili powder
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp Morton's No Salt Substitute

Sauce:
15 oz can of no salt added tomato sauce
1/2 tsp Mrs. Dash Garlic and Herb seasoning
1/4 tsp Morton's No Salt Substitute
1/2 tsp black pepper
sprinkle small amount cayenne pepper or chili powder

Additional Ingredients:
4 Low in Carbs multi grain tortillas
1/2 cup low fat cheddar or mozzarella -optional
Cilantro or Parsley -optional for garnish

First- Combine all fish mixture in a large non stick pan over medium heat for approximately 4-5 minutes or until heated all the way through. Remove from heat and set aside in a bowl.

Second- In same skillet you cooked fish mixture combine all sauce ingredients over medium heat and cook until it is heated all the way approximately 3-5 minutes.

Third- Spread a thin layer on bottom of baking dish. Lay out tortillas flat on a plate and evenly spread out fish mixture. Fold the right and left side over and then roll, place seam side down over sauce in baking dish. Top off evenly with remainder sauce on the rolled enchiladas. Bake on 350 for 10 minutes. Add cheese-optional on top and bake for another 5-8 minutes. Sprinkle cilantro or parsley and enjoy!
