In the mood for Mexican? Give my light and lean (and lazy, thanks to the slow cooker) chicken enchiladas a try. This recipe seriously couldn’t be any easier to make: Simply toss chicken, salsa, garlic powder, onion, and taco seasoning into a slow cooker before heading out in the morning. When you get home, stuff tortillas with the flavorful pulled chicken filling, pour on the enchilada sauce, melt the cheese, and dig in! Not only is dinner on the table in less than 20 minutes, but you’ll save yourself almost 300 calories compared to the traditional version. You may just have to have a glass of sangria to celebrate!
