Why You’ll Love These High Protein Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas

These enchiladas almost never happened.

Somewhere in the middle of making them, I was convinced I’d lost my favorite Spanglish Asadero seasoning. I searched the kitchen, accused poor Fritzy of knocking it off the counter and batting it into another dimension, and finally gave up and ordered another bottle on Instacart.

A little while later…guess where I found it?

In the bathroom.

Don’t ask me how. I still don’t have an explanation.

By then I’d already walked laps around the house looking for ingredients, forgotten the cilantro, second-guessed myself at least three times, and seriously questioned whether enchiladas were worth this much drama.

Then they came out of the oven.

Kiki took one bite and said, “You should’ve just paid the $25.“

I laughed because the restaurant version would’ve blown my calories for the day. These didn’t.

Instead, these High Protein Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas are stuffed with tender rotisserie chicken, creamy blended cottage cheese and Greek yogurt, mild green chiles, and just enough melted cheese to make every bite feel indulgent. Topped with warm Mama Queso Green Chile Cheese Dip, they have all the comfort of restaurant enchiladas while packing 44 grams of protein per serving.

So yes…they caused a little chaos in my kitchen. But after one bite, I’d make them all over again…although next time I might check the bathroom for my seasonings first. 😉
