About Chicken enchildada
Chicken enchiladas are a popular dish originating from Mexican cuisine, featuring soft corn or flour tortillas filled with tender, seasoned shredded chicken. The filling often includes a mix of spices, onions, and sometimes cheese or beans for added texture and flavor. Rolled tightly, the enchiladas are topped with a zesty enchilada sauce, made primarily from chilies, tomatoes, and spices, and baked until bubbly. Additional toppings like melted cheese, sour cream, or fresh cilantro are common. While chicken enchiladas offer a good source of protein from the lean chicken and fiber from beans, their calorie count can rise depending on the amount of cheese, sauce, and tortilla type used. Traditional recipes served with low-fat cheese and whole-grain tortillas can provide a healthier option. However, they can be high in sodium due to the sauce and seasoning, making moderation or homemade versions ideal for controlling nutritional content.
