Chicken and Cheese Enchiladas are a classic dish rooted in Mexican cuisine, blending bold flavors and rich textures. Each enchilada features a soft corn tortilla filled with seasoned shredded chicken and melted cheese, then rolled and topped with a zesty red or green enchilada sauce, additional cheese, and sometimes a garnish of fresh cilantro or diced onions. High in protein from the chicken and calcium from the cheese, they provide key nutrients. However, they can be calorie-dense due to the cheese, tortillas, and sauce, especially when prepared with excess oil or creamy toppings. To make them healthier, you can opt for whole-grain tortillas, reduced-fat cheese, and a lighter, homemade sauce to control sodium and fat levels. These enchiladas are a delicious way to enjoy a comforting, hearty dish while showcasing traditional Mexican flavors.
