FAQ:
Can I make these enchiladas gluten-free?
Yes, simply substitute the whole-wheat tortillas with gluten-free tortillas. Ensure your enchilada sauce is also gluten-free.
How can I add more protein?
Stir in cooked chicken breast, turkey, or extra beans to boost protein content without adding many points.
Can I freeze leftovers?
Absolutely! Store baked enchiladas in an airtight container for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven or microwave until heated through.
How do I adjust spice levels?
For extra heat, add jalapeo slices or chili flakes. For milder flavor, use a mild enchilada sauce and omit extra spices.
