Buffalo Chicken Enchiladas

Of course we try to do our best to eat healthy but my hubby is a sucker for anything buffalo chicken. Tonight I thought I would try buffalo chicken enchiladas. Of course I saw several different recipes on Pinterest to inspire me but I ended up settling on trying the one posted by a dietitian (No surprises there). Too bad I didn't have the green onions. Check out the original recipe on the Prevention RD blog. 

Of course I never follow an exact recipe. So I started with two chicken breasts and shredded them. Then I made made own red enchilada sauce (the original used canned enchilada sauce). It is really simple. Use 1 cup of tomato sauce, 1 cup chicken broth, 1 Tbsp of Chili powder, 1/2 Tbsp of Cumin, 1/2 Tbsp on Onion powder and 1 clove of chopped garlic.  The original recipe used 1 cup of canned enchilada sauce but I didn't have any and this turned out great.  The add 1/3 cup of your favorite buffalo wing sauce. If you like them really hot add more!

Preheat your oven to 350.  I then put a little of the sauce on the bottom of my dish.  Next take about 1/2 cup of your sauce and mix it with you shredded chicken and 1/2 cup % 2 milk shredded mexican cheese blend.

 Fill each tortilla with the mixture, roll up and place seem side down in your baking dish.
The next step is simple. Put the rest of your sauce on top of your enchiladas.

Top the enchiladas with another 1/2 cup cheese and 3 ounces of crumbled blue cheese.  Bake for about 20-25 minutes at 350.

When they are done. Feel free to top with chopped cilantro and green onions. I unfortunately was out of both. I would also strongly encourage you to make sure that you serve some veggies on the side and be sure to watch your portions!  

When you are done with dinner. Follow up with a nice walk like I did! Hope you enjoy them.
