Low Fat Vegetarian Enchiladas



Vegetarian Enchiladas right out of the oven

You can find some great enchiladas in Mexico, or you can whip up a nice lunch or dinner of low-fat vegetarian enchiladas in your own kitchen in about 30 minutes.

So the next time you're having some friends over for margaritas, and you need to serve a nice lunch, these enchiladas will be sure to please your friends.

This recipe is from my son Sam the Chef; he graduated from culinary school in 1997 and ever since has been coming up with all kinds of great recipes.

If you're like me you can spice it up a bit with some hot or mild sauce, I prefer the hot.

  1. Oh, I love enchiladas! I have never made vegetarian enchiladas. Honestly, never even considered it, yet we have several vegetarians in the family. Your recipe sounds delicious. I will have to try it the next time my daughter and son-in-law come for dinner.

    1. Hi Donna, Actually he inspires me, the only problem is, when you are a chef I guess you don't have to clean up.
