Does this recipe make me look fat?


The classified staff association where I work compiled a cookbook for their fall fund raiser.

Court contributed several recipes. Read through the ingredient list for a few of her contributions, and you'll understand why I'm a big girl.

I'm feeling the white cheesy enchiladas. Who am I kidding? All of it...oh my.

Those things are to die for; eat them often enough and they will kill you. We usually make them for pot luck situations, so that we are not tempted by the leftovers. They are SO good.

Hey, now! The enchiladas are healthy... they're made with whole wheat tortillas! :)

I make those same enchiladas, sans the wheat tortillas. You guys are health nuts!

Hmmm, I'm thinking about how I can work with those enchiladas to make them as non-fat/low-fat as possible.

Sassyfriend - I think they would taste just fine with fat free cheese (we've actually used low fat many times) and fat free sour cream - although *I* would probably do at least half and half on the sour cream and just eat a smaller portion. These days, unless making it for a potluck, I usually split it into two meals and freeze one for later. The 5 enchiladas are MORE than enough for us to all have for one dinner, lunch for two, and then usually leftovers for at least one more meal.

The nice thing about them being so rich is that really, HALF of an enchilada is plenty. We usually serve with spanish rice (which could be healthy or unhealthy depending on brand) and BLACK beans (instead of refried beans) with cumin which are really very healthy.

GMTA We did a cookbook for our fall $$ as well. We actually did pretty well and I only have a few copies left. I'm interested in a trade as well.
