Hi.  I’m Danielle, freelance recipe developer, degreed nutritionist, grocery/cooking gadget guru. I’m also the luckiest lady this side of the Mississippi because I’ve been a part of the amazing Skinnytaste team for the past few years.

As a California native, Mexican food is something we eat at least once a week.  It’s tough because many (Americanized) Mexican dishes are loaded with cheese and sauce, which means calories, fat and some serious indigestion.  Fine on occasion, but I wanted to create something that was lighter yet still satisfied my love of cheesy Mexican dishes.  Thus, the Enchilada Chicken Roll-Ups were born.

This would be great with Mexican Cauliflower “Rice” or  Cilantro Lime Rice on the side. I highly recommend making the enchilada sauce from scratch for the best taste.
