Sometimes you just want Mexican food.
All of the time I want to eat food that is healthy for me.
This is the combination of both.

I calculated the nutritional information and there’s about 350 calories per enchilada.
This would make my husband and I very happy at dinner time!

This is awesome! I love enchiladas, and I really like the yogurt/cream of mushroom combo idea. 🙂 This is definitely going on a weekly meal plan soon!!
