Notes
Chicken: You can use chicken thighs or even chicken tenders in place of chicken breasts.
Enchilada Sauce: Red or green enchilada sauce will work in this recipe.
Corn: We like to use frozen corn and defrost it but you can also use canned corned (drained and rinse it first!)
Black Beans: Pinto beans or kidney beans would work well in this recipe
Green Chiles: Green chiles are optional, but delicious! You can skip them if you don't have them on hand.
Cheese: You can use pepper jack, monterey jack or colby jack cheese in place of cheddar. We haven't tried it with low fat cheese but it would probably work.
Low Salt: If you're watching your sodium intake look for low salt enchilada sauce and salt free black beans. Cheese is naturally high in salt.
WW Note: The only points in this recipe are for the cheddar cheese. You can sub in low fat cheddar cheese and it will only be 1SP per serving on blue.
