Not Your Mama's Enchilada

 
     First of all, let me introduce you to Ole Xtreme Wellness High Fiber Low Carb Tortilla Wraps. THEY ARE A GODSEND!! My best friends, these tortillas are! ;) They're 5 carbs!! 5 CARBS! Love them!! I find them at Kroger but I hear they're at Publix and Target as well.  This is a fun dish & yum!



The Enchiladas:

• McCormick Enchilada mix

• 1 1/2 cup water

• 10oz can of Rotel diced tomatoes with chili peppers blended into a sauce-- Package calls for 8oz can of tomato sauce, but I didn't have any in the cabinet so I improvised. :)

•  2 Ole Xtreme Wellness High Fiber Low Carb Tortilla Wraps (I find them a Kroger)

• 1 cup 2% Sharp Cheddar cheese

• 1lb extra lean beef (Laura's Lean Beef)

Follow the  directions on McCormick Enchilada packaging, but to cut the carbs use only two tortillas. Place one tortilla dipped in enchilada sauce in a glass baking dish wide enough for the tortilla to lay flat. Pour beef mixed with 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce onto the tortilla, spreading it across the entire tortilla. Top with second tortilla dipped in sauce. Pour the remaining sauce over the enchillada, then top with cheese. Cook at 350 for 15 minutes of until the cheese is melty and the sauce is bubbly. Cut the Enchilada into four pieces, like a pizza; I even use a pizza cutter to do the job. Then yum it up!

Who Needs Pasta Chicken Alfredo

I have found that if I'm going to stay on track I need to have things on hand that are EASY and QUICK!! The best trick in my tool box for quick and easy is frozen and diced chicken -that's already cooked of course! In comparison to the big name brands, I prefer Kroger's brand. It seems a little less fake to me (always a good thing). I have created a lot of dishes with it but today's selection is Chicken Alfredo. It's so easy!! I usually make it in the morning so I can take it to work for a yummy lunch. I have co-workers that often order-in Chicken Alfredo, but the kind that comes with pasta and bread. As any low carb-ers know, this is a nope! :) My Chicken Alfredo is definitely a yup! And I don't have to salivate over their dishes ever again!!

What you'll need from the store:

Broccoli -- I like to get the packages of fresh broccoli and cauliflower mix -- but you can use
frozen, or fresh from a big bunch.

Alfredo sauce -- I get Buitoni. It's in the refridgerated section usually on the pasta aisle.

Chicken -- 3oz of the frozen diced chicken mentioned before.

How I make it for a packed lunch 

Pour chicken in a to-go bowl.

Pour 1/4 cup of alfredo over chicken.

Pull apart 3-4 broccoli spears in to small pieces.

Season with a little salt, a little more pepper, and 1 tsp. grated parmesan.

When I'm ready to eat I microwave it for maybe 2 minutes (depending on microwave). I think it's delish!
