corn tortillas and enchiladas

Teanne · March 29, 2008

As a Texas girl I used to LIVE on mexican food and thats probably why I am fat. But I want to make some chicken enchiladas with corn tortillas this week. Anyone tried these. Just diced chicken, enchilada sauce and cheese. I know flour tortillas are a no-no but what about corn.

I ate enchiladas on a business trip (one of each, chicken, cheese, and beef). I ate slowly and was able to easily get it down. It probably wasn't an optimal meal in terms of nutrition, but I didn't put on any measurable weight as a result of it either.

I wouldn't eat it too regularly.

What about trying whole wheat (high Fiber, low-carb) tortillas? I have used these to make sandwiches for lunch and have had no problem eating them. I just eat slowly, and it is a great source of fiber. White flour tortillas get stuck and make me sick, but I am fine with the whole wheat ones. Hope this helps.

Had to pop in as your title made me hungry!

I love mexican food!

Always ask your doctor if you have a question, but I don't have a problem with the flour tortillas. I use corn chips with my salsa.

One of my favorite things to eat, discovered it since being banded...

quesidillas - however it's spelled.

I make them w/ a quesa. maker from Macys. Flour tortilla w/ a mixture of chicken, salsa, onions, peppers fried in a pan then top w/ jack cheese and another tortilla.... my family loves them!
