LOW CALORIE ENCHILADA CASSEROLE

OVERVIEW

Growing up, my mom regularly made enchilada casserole and homemade tortilla chips. As an adult, I realize just how fatty that meal was. But ive missed it... so I took one of my favorite mexican American dishes, and swapped out all of the ingredients with low calorie alternatives. The result? You'd never know it was low calorie! Since this recipe feeds 8, it is a great option for dinner if you have a big family, or for your weekly meal prep.
