| These cheesy meatless enchiladas are delicious, packed with fiber so they are filling and easy to make – vegetarian or not. Perfect topped with chopped cilantro, scallions or jalapeños and some low fat sour cream. I love La Tortilla Factory Smart and Delicious Low Carb Tortillas, I used the large size for these enchiladas which are only 2 points plus each.

Many of you know how much I love enchiladas, I've posted several enchilada recipes in the past; chicken enchiladas, chicken and white bean enchiladas with salsa verde, and turkey and black bean enchiladas. This vegetarian recipe makes a is a wonderful addition to my enchilada collection, and I love that I can add more cheese than I normally would because the filling is so light.
