Creamy Verde Enchiladas

Creamy Verde Enchiladas

These have been a family favorite for years! It all started back in college when one of my roommates made it for our group dinner. We all loved it, and I made it for my then boyfriend. We joke he loved it so much that he made me his wife! That was about 12 years ago, and I have been making it for him ever since. Our kids love it too!

But, the original recipe is loaded with fat (full fat sour cream, lots of cheese) and carbs from the tortillas, and over the years I have made it a variety of ways to make it lighter. This version is the lightest I have made, but still is so delicious and hits the spot for creamy comfort food. With macros rounded to 9f/18c/31p for two enchiladas, this is a meal you can throw into your regular dinner rotation and still hit your goals! We love to top ours with light sour cream, cilantro, green onions, and more hot sauce or salsa (not included in the macros).
