Cheddar Beef Enchiladas
Beeb requested this recipe after I posted how good it was on the "what are you eating" thread. I made a few little changes from the original recipe on Allrecipes to make preparing it faster. Ingredients * 1 pound ground beef * 1 (1.25 ounce) package taco seasoning * 1 cup water * 2 cups cooked rice * 1 (16 ounce) can refried beans (or any beans - I used 1/2 can of drained red beans) * 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided (I used 1 c. cheddar in the mix and then put slices of hot pepper cheese on top) * 10 (8 inch) flour tortillas * 1 (16 ounce) jar salsa * 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted (I made my own with some butter, flour, half & half and broth) Directions 1. In a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in taco seasoning and water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Stir in rice & beans. Cook and stir until liquid is evaporated. Stir in half the cheese. Spread about 1/4 - 1/2 cup mixture down the center of each tortilla; roll up. Place seam side down in two greased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking dishes. (I didn't grease mine, just spread about 1/4 c. salsa in the bottom of the dish) 2. Combine salsa and soup; pour over the enchiladas. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake one casserole, uncovered, at 350 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted. Cover and freeze remaining casserole for up to 3 months. I don't have a calorie count, but Fitday says 1/2 a beef, bean & cheese enchilada plus 1/4 c. rice is about 165 calories. It tastes so good to me, it MUST be more calories than this! ![]()

Hehe, not trying to outdo you or anything, Sophie!
But here's a simple, pretty low-calorie "enchilada" recipe (that would probably have my abuela rolling in her grave!); I make this as a casserole so I don't have to fuss with rolling the tortillas. 1 lg can (28 oz) enchilada sauce (red) (Old El Paso is OK; recently I found the Weiss brand to be better! or try La Victoria if you can get it) 1 can Goya black bean soup (don't worry, it's not soupy!) (plain black beans okay but not as tasty) 8 corn tortillas (use 10-12 tortillas if not worried about calories optional: 1/2 pkg vegetarian "ground beef" crumbles (brand like Morningstar or Lightlife) or approx 1/2lb ground beef, cooked, or shredded chicken or, for lower calories, use cooked spinach (1-2 cups) --Cut 4 tortillas into strips (approx 1/4"), then across in 1/2" pieces (so you have small rectangles). --Reserve 1/4c enchilada sauce; warm 1/2 the remaining sauce in a skillet, add tortilla pieces, and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Avoid overcooking which will make them mushy. --Pour this mixture into bottom of 8x8 or 9x9 baking pan. --Heat and mix the black beans with veg. crumbles, meat, and/or spinach. --Spread this over the tortilla layer. --Repeat the first 2 steps with remaining tortillas and sauce and spread evenly over filling. --Pour reserved sauce evenly over top. If desired, top with shredded cheese such as Monterey jack, cheddar, or favorite Mexican blend. Bake casserole until heated through (and cheese is melted). Serve with sour cream, if desired. More authentic: cook without cheese, then serve with crumbled Cotija cheese. Lowest calorie version, total recipe: beans: 392 cal tortillas: 400 cal (may vary by brand) ench. sauce: 350 ( " " ) 822/6 servings= 137 calories

Not being quite the purist, I'm loving both of these recipes. Although, I'm alittle confused about the calories, Jenny. Not sure if this would be a better UD or DD recipe? And would I be able to stop at one serving?!

That recipe put me in such a Hulk Smash mood, I had to go take an angry nap!!!
Chicken soup mixed with salsa...flour tortillas + taco seasoning in enchiladas... OMG--I just noticed, rice in the filling?!!! It's just...so...RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHRRRRR!!!! Deep breath...deep breath...diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks... Okay, I am just going to think of that recipe as "Dr Frankenstein's Baked Burritacos" and try to move on with my life... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Vicki, it's definitely a better UD recipe when you can smother it in cheese and eat it with gigantic blobs of sour cream & guacamole... but the ingredients in the simple version are quite low in calories, especially if you fill it with lots of spinach. 1/4 cup of enchilada sauce is only 25 calories, and cooking the corn tortilla in it is SO tasty!!! I always do the bean + veggie crumbles for my son, who is vegetarian and not fond of blatant spinach (I can sneak in a little). But, wow, 1lb spinach is only 104 calories... I'm thinking 1/2 the can of beans and more spinach would work, too. Another filling I like is spinach with sauteed mushrooms and onions (but you could simmer them in a little broth, instead, to keep calories low). Spinach & beef is good, too. ![]()

Maybe will have to try this, it looks absolutely scrumptious!!! Being born and raised in So Ca I'm always looking for good Mexican (?) recipes and now being JUDDD I'm also looking for low cal.
Just looked it up and a corn tortilla is only 32 calories!! ![]() ![]() ![]()

I'm sure midwest... to me a corn tortilla is a waste of perfectly good corn.
![]() I love the fillings, the toppings, the sauces.. pretty much all of it except the tortillas. I'm like, *You poor people! Don't you have any BREAD?* ![]()

Unfortunately Pat, I have to do GF or at least G light and coming from LC as most of us are.....well I pretty much had it in my head that I would NEVER be able to eat ANY corn again, let alone in tortilla shape!
Yeah, JUDDD continues to amaze!!! ![]()

Egg Salad
2 large eggs 4 large egg whites 1T mayonnaise 1T miracle whip light 1T mustard 1/2 cup chopped celery 2 stalks green onion, sliced small salt and pepper to taste Hard boil the eggs. Remove 4 yolks for another purpose, chop the rest and mix everything. Totals: 337 cals; 19.6g fat; 5.5g carb; 1.8g fiber; 29g protein I consider this a DD recipe because it leaves you 150+ calories for other things but it makes quite a bit so you can just eat it throughout the day to keep yourself filled up. You can sub out the real mayo for light and save 70 calories.

In my experience/opinion, an enchilada is always made with corn tortillas and enchilada sauce. Flour tortillas, rice filling, and salsa make it a burrito. Like, chicken noodle soup is made with chicken and noodles. If someone made it with fish and rice instead, it might be super-delicious and even better than the original, but it wouldn't be chicken noodle soup anymore!!!
Sophie, you said you got the recipe from Allrecipes, so I assume that's not your own creation and I do hope I didn't offend you personally by commenting on it (and getting my chones in a knot!!! ![]() Quote:
Here's a favorite of mine, DD friendly if you leave out the oil, and have about a 4-6oz serving of fish (25 calories/oz): Huachinango a la Veracruzana Red Snapper in Veracruz Sauce* by Chelsie Kenyon Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 30 minutes Total Time: 45 minutes Ingredients: 3 lbs whole red snapper 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice pinch of salt pinch of pepper small pinch of nutmeg 1 onion sliced 2-3 cloves of garllic, peeled and diced 1/2 cup tomato sauce 3 tomatoes seeded and diced, coarsely chopped 1/4 cup oil (reduce or omit for lower calories) 1 bay leaf 1 teaspoon dried oregano 5 jalapenos (canned) roughly chopped 2 tablespoons capers 10 green olives, quartered Preparation: Marinade If using the whole snapper, clean it and remove the scales but leave the head and tail on for presentation. Prick the fish with a fork on both sides. Lay the fish (or the filets in a single layer in a shallow baking dish. Whisk together the lime juice, salt, pepper, nutmeg and garlic and pour over the snapper. Refrigerate for about an hour. Sauce Begin by heating up the oil in a large saute pan over medium heat and start frying the onions. When they are just becoming translucent, add in the garlic and continue to cook for about 1-2 minutes until they are soft. Add in the tomatoes, tomato sauce, bay leaf, oregano, jalapenos, and olives. Simmer the sauce for 5 minutes to bring the flavors together. Cooking Remove the fish from the marinade and place in shallow baking dish. Cover the fish with the sauce and bake in a 300 degree oven for about 30 minutes turning once. (Six 8-oz servings)

Beeb, Apparently we're thinking along the same lines. But I love soup and especially autumn/winter soups. And yours looks really good. Anyway, this was sent to me via FB from FF Vegan Kitchen:
SF Apple-Pumpkin Delight 4 oz pumpkin 1 granny smith apple 1/4 t cinnamon 1/8 t nutmeg pinch cloves 2 t cornstarch (although I guess you could use glu) 1/4 c apple juice (assuming unsweetened ![]() no-cal sweetener of your choice Preheat oven to 400 F Peel pumpkin and apple. Slice each into thin pieces, but make the apple into slightly larger pieces. Set aside. In small bowl, mix other ingredients together. You are aiming for sweetener to be the equivalent of 2-3 T of sugar. Spray small casserole dish w/ Pam. Arrange half the pumpkin slices in dish, and arrange apple slices on top. Repeat. Pour apple juice mixture over all. Cover w/ foil and bake 40 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 15 minutes. Check to make sure veg/fruit is soft all the way through. Serve warm or cold. Makes 2 servings: 72 calories per serving, 18 gm carb.

What about using the Alpine cider mix with a bit of water if you don't want the calories or some apple spice tea? Sounds yummy.
