Chicken Enchiladas - 5 1/2 Smart Points

I was trying to come up with some idea to use a couple of items purchased at a health food store.  I know no one probably has both light tofu and Tofuti Better Than Cream Cheese in their fridge, so just substitute cream cheese or reduced fat cream cheese for them and calculate the change in Smart Points.

The nutritional yeast was added to increase the buttery/cheesy flavor since such a small amount of cheese is used.

This takes about 5 minutes to assemble and 3 minutes to heat in the microwave.  Add a side salad and a few tortilla chips and you'll have a plate full!
