Chicken Enchiladas w/ Eggwhite "Tortillas"

I am on the Kimkins WOE (way of eating) plan. Here is an awesome recipe from their website that I wanted to share with you. YUMMY!

Ingredients
1 Chicken breast, boiled and shredded
1 tsp. Taco Seasoning
1/4 cup Enchilada Sauce
1/2 cup Cheddar Cheese, low-fat preferred
4 Egg whites
Salt and Pepper, to taste

No of Servings: 3
Calories: 191 K.cal.
Preparation Time: 20 (minutes)
Cooking Time: 10 (minutes)

Instructions: Boil chicken, shred, season w/ taco seasoning, and set aside. Spray baking dish with non-stick spray. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Meanwhile, make 3 egg 'tortillas', as follows: Heat (on medium heat) a small skillet sprayed w/ cooking spray. Use fork or whisk to lightly mix egg whites with salt and pepper to taste. Once skillet is heated, pour about a third of the egg white in THIN layer over bottom of pan. swirling to make sure it covers the bottom evenly. Let cook until set (fairly hardened), Use spatula to loosen from edges of pan; then gently flip for just a few seconds to set other side. In center of each tortilla, place a third of the chicken and a sprinkle of cheese. Fold the sides in to cover the filling. Place close together in prepared baking dish, and pour enchilada sauce evenly over the top. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 7 - 10 minutes or until filling is heated through and cheese is melted.
Notes: The counts will vary depending on what you use for taco seasoning and enchilada sauce, so check your own counts. You can make your own low-carb versions of these, too. This basic egg white crepe recipe can have MANY other uses. You can also use 3 whole eggs to make the 3 crepes instead. You can vary the fillings as well.
