SALSA VERDE CHICKEN ENCHILADAS

Salsa Verde Chicken Enchiladas!! I made them with gluten free tortillas & only half with cheese for my hubby to enjoy!

This is what I love about the FASTer Way To Fat Loss, I am not missing out on anything! I can substitute for gluten & dairy free & enjoy the same meal!

With dirty rice and homemade refried beans! Made a double batch one for the oven one for the freezer for a lazy/busy day meal!!

These enchiladas are so very tasty! The recipe is simple but the prep-work is a little time consuming, unless you cook the chicken ahead of time or use leftover chicken, of course. (You could also prepare the sauce ahead of time, and keep it in the fridge for a few days). This is a perfect dish to make on a weekend or to prepare a day or two before you want to eat it, then just stick it in the oven for 20 minutes while you make some Mexican Rice!

INGREDìENTS

• 1 (10 oz) can drained Rotel tomatoes OR 1 (4 oz) can diced green chiles
