Enchilada Casserole



I found this recipe from Six Sisters on Pinterest, they in turn found it from Just Get Off Your Butt and Bake! and it was a delicious hit!! I changed a few ingredients to fat free/low carb and it came out to be Weight Watchers friendly for a generous portion!

This is the link to the recipe. I've posted below with the few alterations I've made to help lower the points although the orginal is already health friendly.
