Kraft Kitchens Tips

Makeover - How We Did It

This better-for-you alternative can save you 110 calories and 11g of fat, including 8g of sat fat per serving when compared with the traditional recipe. We did it by preparing it with PHILADELPHIA Neufchatel Cheese and KRAFT Mexican Style 2% Milk Finely Shredded Four Cheese, and decreased the amounts used for both.

Special Extra

Garnish each serving with 1 Tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro.

Variation

Prepare using corn tortillas. To prevent cracking, warm tortillas as directed on package before filling and baking as directed.

I made this recipe with minor adjustments. Used a salsa on hand and added a small can of tomato sauce to make it more like the thich and chunky style. I also added additional seasoning,like garlic. My husband is very picky and he enjoyed it. I asked him if we would want me to make this again and got a hearty YES!

LOVE this. I have made this several times. It is delicious and easy, and reheats well for lunches. Also, I usually end up with too much enchilada stuffing, and use the extra as a dip :)

Delicious! I loved how easy to make and full of flavor this is. My boyfriend isn't a big fan of peppers, but he just picked them out. Even my 3 year old son loved them! Will definitely make again.

This was super easy and tasted great! I would probably add onions the next time.

Wow, this dish is absolutely delicious! My fiance raved about it and said it must be made again! It's such a great alternative to super fattening enchiladas! I made it exactly as is and highly recommend it!

I made this exactly as is ( loving the lower fat ingredients) and my family went on for days about how good it was. I couldn't believe how easy and delicious it turned out to be. Am going to make it over and over using other meat as well as chicken. I am not a great cook but this recipe made me seem like one!!! Love it!!!
