You know I'm a huge fan of the healthy and organic foods made by Amy's Kitchen. The ingredients are like the ones I would use if I had time to cook. Since I love Mexican food, and loved her Cheddar Cheese Burrito, I decided to give her Santa Fe Enchilada bowl a try. It's made with layered corn tortillas, rice, tofu, veggies, Jack cheese, and beans. Does it taste as good as it sounds? To find out read more.

I know this doesn't look very appetizing or anything like the gorgeous photo, but looks can be deceiving. I actually really loved this meal. I liked that it wasn't your typical rolled up enchilada, but that it was more like a layered lasagna, so it was easy to eat with a fork. It was really flavorful, spicy, but not burn-your-tongue spicy. The beans, rice, and crumbled up tofu made this meal really filling. The soft texture makes this enchilada a great addition to my list of comfort foods. I like that it's not too high in calories or saturated fat, and it's also high in fiber and protein, thanks to the veggies and beans. The sodium content is a little on the high side, but still doable considering the RDI is 2,300 mg a day. I would definitely pick this enchilada bowl up again. For under $5, it makes a quick, tasty, and healthy meal.
Any other Amy's fans out there? If you have tried the enchiladas, tell me what you thought in the comments section below.

Wow, only 130 calories?? It sounds yummy, but i'm not sure about the tofu...i'm used to eating tofu only in Asian foods.
1I think it's actually 350 calories... (from the Amy's website.) Sounds like it'll taste good though!
2I love Amy's products...haven't tried this on yet, though. But I think I'm going to pick it up the next time I'm at the store!
3It doesn't really look (or sound) like a 130 calories-meal. Beans, tofy, cheese, sauce, corn chips?
Sounds yummy though. I love Amy's stuff!
4I am intrigued but I do not like tofu.
5I used to eat this before I went vegan, and you cannot really taste the tofu. So, for y'all who are scared to try this because of it, I can say that you would probably like it!
611 grams of fat? 750 mg of salt? no thank you
7I love Amy's - the cheese enchiladas are my favorite. I have a gluten allergy and she makes a lot of things that are gluten free, including this dish.
love love love
8Amys is very good, but all the sodium makes me so thirsty afterwards.
9oh man, amy's pizza bites are a little slice of heaven on earth.
10it looks good but it seriously can't only be 130 calories. too good to be true. . .
11I've had this. It's good.
12Looks yummy but I'm sceptical of the nutritional info. If it only has 130 calories and 99 calories of it is fat (11 grams fat x 9 calories) then 3/4 of the calories come from fat? A pretty high fat dish.
13Amy's products rock
14Obviously this can't have this few calories and still have that many grams of fiber, protein, and fat. Even so, it sounds delicious and healthy!
15LOL, I was thinking "Wow, only 130 calories...that's pretty amazing!" Then I saw how much fat it had and I figured it's probably got more than 130 calories in it. 350 sounds a lot more reasonable, especially since it has quite a bit of protein and fat in it. It does look pretty yummy, I'll have to say. If they go on sale at my grocery store, I'll pick some up.
16I would try it...I love Amy's. And Mexican food is yum.
17It sounds yum. Does it have sugar in it? That is my only issue with some Amy's foods.
18There is no way it's 180 calories, I've had this before! I actually eat the Amy's meals because they have MORE calories than lean cuisine, usually 290-400. I hate prepared meals that leave me too hungry, then I will snack on crap. And the meals are usually very nutritious. I agree that the sodium and fat content is high...but to betch over 11 grams of fat? I mean, don't we get like 50 a day? This is a very filling meal, it's totally worth the 300 calories and 11 grams of fat.
19i love amy's rice bowls too. haven't tried this one yet but it looks good!
20I'll pass.
21Mmmm I love Amy's.
22love amys food... i bet this fills you up too!!
23I love Amy's too but the sodium content always leaves me weary. I keep a few in the freezer for days when I'm too tired to cook.
24I just tried an Amy's pesto pizza the other day, and it was SO GOOD. Way better than the overprocessed pizzas and it was only like 50c more!
