WW Points for Chicken Enchiladas:
This recipe comes out to 6 points per serving.

Weight Watchers Chicken Enchiladas Recipe
You’ll need some simple ingredients for this recipe. Be sure to use these same amounts that you find in the recipe card at the bottom of the post when making Weight Watchers chicken enchiladas or it can potentially skew your points.
I always use the WW recipe creator to find the points but you should create the recipe using your specific brands and ingredients as well if you are concerned about the points!
You’ll need red enchilada sauce, precooked and shredded chicken breast, eight inch 100 calorie or low carb tortillas, and reduced fat Mexican shredded cheese blend. If you want to add some garnishes like reddish, cilantro, green onion, and lime juice, I highly recommend.
You can also top with things like sour cream or greek yogurt, salsa, etc. but make sure to add those points on extra based on what you use, they’re not included in the points calculations!
Weight Watchers Chicken Enchilada Recipe
Combine together the precooked shredded chicken and enchilada sauce in a sauce pan over low-medium heat and heat for 5 minutes.
Place 1/3 cup of chicken and enchilada sauce mixture in each tortilla, roll up and place seam down in an 8 x 12 non-stick cooking pan.
Use remaining enchilada sauce that is left in your pan and drizzle it on the top of your rolled up enchiladas.
Sprinkle cheese on top of all enchiladas, cover pan with tin foil and bake in the oven at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
Top your Weight Watchers Chicken Enchiladas with diced radishes, cilantro and green onions. Squeeze lime juice on top for an extra zing of flavor!
There you have it, a delicious Weight Watchers Chicken Enchiladas Recipe!
Using the Weight Watchers Mobile App this recipe was calculated at 6 Points per serving. Each serving is 1 enchilada and they should be 6 servings from this recipe.
Can I make these enchiladas dairy free and gluten free?
You can absolutely make dietary changes to this recipe. You can use corn tortillas if you like, or if you have a gluten free tortilla that you enjoy sub that in, just change the points based on your calculations on the WW app.
If you aren’t on WW it makes it really easy, you can swap in some vegan cheese without worrying about the points shifting. I like the CHAO creamy shreds from Field Roast! Around here we can get those at Giant grocery stores, they melt really well which is why I like them for enchiladas!
Do you have a beef version of this recipe?
If you like pork or been enchiladas I have some other recipes for you to check out! Don’t miss out on Weight Watchers Beef Enchiladas or these spicy pork and black bean enchiladas!
Do you make one kind at a time? In our house, when it’s enchilada night, there’s usually multiple varieties and then we eat leftovers throughout the week or send some home with everyone!
