low cal veggie enchiladas
If you get really intense cravings for mexican food like I do, ive made a recipe for low cal AMAZING enchiladas:
This recipe makes a TON of food, I used an 8x8 pan and made 4 giant enchiladas and still had half the ingredients to make another pan. So you could half this recipe easily.
Sauce: 3 medium tomatoes- 66 1 red bell pepper- 24 3 small peppers (of your choice) 45 5 cloves garlic- 20 1/2 tsp cumin- 5 1/2 tsp ground red pepper- 5 salt to taste
Dice all ingredients and bring to a boil in a pot. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 mins. If you want a smooth sauce blend in food processor.
Filling: 2 6in yellow squash- 60 2 6in zucchini- 60 1 small onion- 45 1 bell pepper of your choice- 24 5 cloves garlic- 20 2 tsp taco seasoning- 20
Saute onions and garlic over medium heat until onions become pretty soft. Add squashes and bell pepper and simmer until squash is just tender. Mix in cheeses if you want.
Cheeses optional mixed into filling: I used 1 cup low fat cottage cheese (160) and 1/2 cup low fat shredded Mexican (160). I know cottage cheese sounds weird but its so good and way lower calories.
To fill:
Cover bottom of pan in light layer of sauce. I used low gluten whole wheat tortillas(90) dunked in the sauce and then filled and rolled in and 8x8 dish. Bake at 325 for 30 mins.
ENJOY! Each enchilada is only 180 cal, is SUPER filling.
