Do you Pinterest?
I do.
Initially, I really didn't see what the appeal was, but then as I followed more and more people, I saw amazing things... amazing recipes! Even though I've been pinning recipes for months, it wasn't until this weekend that I actually tried a recipe that I had pinned.
The results? O. M. G. Delicious! The kind of delicious where your husband states that he could eat it that for dinner every single week!
So...enjoy this recipe that I pinned, and adapted to make Weight Watchers friendly. using less cheese and sour cream and a little more sauce.
And here is what's for dinner this week:

In a really big skillet - heat olive oil. Over medium heat add onions and cook 3-5 minutes. Add garlic and red pepper and cook another 3-5 minutes
Add chicken, green chilies, cumin, chili powder, salt, and enchilada
sauces. Let sauce simmer for about 8-10 minutes.
Add cheese and stir until melted.
Add pasta and stir to combine (this is where you are going to wish you listened to me when I said REALLY BIG skillet)!
Put on your plate and top with whatever toppings your heart desires... I did green onions, a tiny sprinkle of more cheese and a tablespoon of light sour cream.
Makes a ton!
