Expert Tips

Though protein won't raise your blood glucose levels, it's still wise to eat only one serving per meal to control your total calorie intake.

Don't forget the rice and beans! Serve with 1/3 cup cooked rice and 1/2 cup Old El Paso® fat-free refried beans for a total of 4 1/2 Carbohydrate Choices.

If you prefer green enchilada sauce to the red variety, go ahead and use it instead.

Came across this recipe earlier, and made these for dinner tonight. I thought it sounded a little bland, so I shredded my chicken, and then cooked it in hot & spicy taco seasoning. I did everything else the same as the recipe, and they were delicious!!! Will definitely be making them again :)
