Enchiladas can contain as much as 600 calories per each, particularly when packed with cheese and beef.

Cheese

Shells often fried in oil

Sour cream

Flour shells vs corn shells

To cut enchilada calories, opt for corn shells which contain about 1/2 the calories of flour tortillas.  Also choose skimmed, shredded mozzarella cheese to save even more calories.

When using sour cream, opt for the LIGHT version.  And rather than frying tortillas in oil, 'fry' with butter flavored non-stick cooking spray.
