This is my variation of a real diet buster; Swiss Enchiladas by Pierre Dance. Our family loved Pierre's recipe so much, that when we started WW, we just had to make a low fat recipe. Enjoy.

Loved the flavor of these enchiladas! My only complaint was the sauce was too runny--like milk, but maybe it was because I had to use flour tortillas? I will definately try this again with the fried corn tortillas.

Yummy enchiladas. We had a huge thing of homemade green salsa so I used that (made of tomatillos, jalapenos, serranos & onion). It was HOT. We knew the salsa was but wow, it was spicy lol. We really enjoyed them and they were so easy to make. I baked a couple frozen chicken breasts last night and then put them in the fridge...tonight I pulled them out and chopped them up and we were ready to go! Thanks for the great recipe that even the hubs loved!

My family and I really enjoyed these enchiladas. My brother and I found it to be a two-man job. We created an assembly line where he was in charge of frying the tortillas and dipping them in the half & half and I was in charge of assembling and rolling them. It was nice teamwork! We needed a little more than 1/4 cup of oil to get all the tortillas fried. We shredded our chicken and added a little garlic powder to the half & half as well. We were in shock that this is a WW recipe. I can guarantee we'll be making this again. Thank you for posting!
