Blend a tin of chopped tomatoes pal, add garlic powder (1/4 tsp), chilli powder (2 tsp), hot sauce (try and find something with a bit more kick than tobasco) add till desired heat has been achieved. Some people add a little cumin, but I don't like it so leave it out. Fry your chicken in a paprika & smoked paprika blend, makes a big difference.

BTW, I dont like onions much, hence why there's no mention of them. If you want onions just fry them along with any peppers you're gonna add.

Isn't it just tomatoes and spices? Nothing bad in there anyway. The only thing bad about enchiladas is the cheese I would've thought (and tortillas if you're watching carbs).

To make it a nice cheat but as clean as I can. Less junk in and decent food in in theory = better results. Pre-made stuff is loaded with junk.

Calorie wise - how much are you giving yourself for this cheat? I recommend that if you want to keep it simple use tomatoes, onion, garlic, cumin and chill powder. If you are feeling adventurous add some peppers. I have found this recipe, but i have to confess that it slightly on the 'naughty side' but you can use it as a template mate: http://www.westingourmet....ub/chorizo-enchiladas/

When you do you tomato sauce papa try the morrisons olive, basil pasata. Fry onions, garlic, chilli and i like sweetcorn in mine as well, add the pasata. leave it to simmer down and drizzle away mate. The pasata with the olives and basil makes a big difference and tastes great
