Recipe Tip:

Health Twist

Though protein won't raise your blood glucose levels, it's still wise to eat only one serving per meal to control your total calorie intake.

Serve-With

Don't forget the rice and beans! Serve with 1/3 cup cooked rice and 1/2 cup Old El Paso® fat-free refried beans for a total of 4 1/2 Carbohydrate Choices.

Substitution

If you prefer green enchilada sauce to the red variety, go ahead and use it instead.
