I have no idea where I got this recipe. It has been sitting on my desktop for about 3 years, and I didn't try it until last night. If only I had known! This is so yummy! And you can't even tell that it's lowfat!

These enchiladas were a bit too spicy for my taste. I would use less chili powder next time.

The chicken in these enchiladas was a bit dry. I would cook it for less time next time.

These enchiladas were a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and they were much better.

I made these enchiladas for my family and they loved them! The chicken was tender and juicy, and the spinach and cheese were melted and gooey. I will definitely be making these again.
