Stouffer's Lean Cuisine Chicken Enchilada Suiza Frozen Food 9oz Review

Eating light isn't easy. Mexican food, in particular, is just no fun when it is made without the good stuff that makes it so tasty. However, Stouffer's Lean Cuisine Chicken Enchilada Suiza Frozen Food 9oz helps ease the pain of not eating high fat and high calorie Tex-Mex.

The Product

This is a frozen meal. It contains 270 calories and only 4.5 grams of fat. That makes it sooooooo appetizing it itself. Another good thing is that this has no preservatives in it. For reference, this dinner has 10 grams of protein, 3 grams of fiber, 47 grams of carbs, and the dreaded 510 grams of sodium (21% of an adult's RDA). I need salt to keep my blood pressure up so I am fine with the sodium level.

There is a nice sized enchilada with chicken and spicy rice. The enchilada has a sour cream sauce on it which is tasty. The rice is a touch spicy but it's supposed to be.

My Experience

I love this dinner. It's filling and different. I can't pick up the enchilada and eat it with my hands, so I cut it up and enjoy it in small bites. the rice is spicy enough but not overly so and the sour cream sauce adds loads of flavor.

This makes a good lunch or dinner combined with a salad and low or no fat dressing. Under 300 calories and something that sticks to the ribs!

If you crave Tex-Mex but don't want to venture into the high fat land of restaurant food, try this dinner. It isn't like you would get out or make yourself but it's fast, easy, and quite tasty.

It's inexpensive as well at under $3.00.

My Viewpoint

Tasty! While I am, admittedly, not the pickiest person when it comes to food and willingly sacrifice taste for lower fat and calories, I think Stouffer's Lean Cuisine Chicken Enchilada Suiza Frozen Food 9oz is one of the better tasting frozen low cal/low fat meals I have tried. It's a nice change of pace from the chicken breast, tasteless pasta, and nondescript low calorie/low fat dinners I have eaten.

4 stars. It's a shame that the sodium is so high but Mexican food, by its nature, is salty and frozen foods generally are high in sodium. I don't find this to taste too salty but I also do not add additional salt to it.
