Mexi-Recipes! Ole!



I can not take credit for these fantastic recipes.They came from my friend Jill. They are all muy delicioso! Enjoy!

Black Bean and Corn Salsa

8-10 Roma tomatoes or do as I do and add two cans Rotele. They have all different flavors so pick the one that best suits your likings.

1 can drained corn

1 can drained black beans (Bush's seasoned black beans are good)

Chopped cilantro

Green Onions

1/2 squeezed lime

1 diced avocado ( it is good with out too if you don't want the extra points)

Put all the ingredients together.... refrigerate.... and its done! Loren and I like to eat this with the Light Restaurant Style Tortilla Chips.

5 Servings 2pts per serving without avocado

5 servings 4pts per serving with avocado


Chicken Tacos

This is one easy crock pot meal. Put it together in the morning and then when you are ready for dinner its done! Dont forget to eat these tacos with Dunford Tortillas!

3-4 Large Frozen Chicken Breasts (20 ounces)

1/2 jar of a large bottle of Pace

1/2-1 pack of taco seasoning.I like the taco bell kind.

1 pound of Turkey Burger or lean ground beef

14 oz Diced Can Tomatoes

8oz tomato sauce

3 Cans of Beans(I use one can seasoned chili beans in mild sauce and then 2 cans kidney or red beans or any other kind that you like)

1 package taco seasoning

Brown meat with onion and drain.

Add everything in a large pot and simmer on the stove.

8 servings 5 pts per serving(that is calculated by using extra lean ground beef)

Thanks Maren! I did find something that is helping my cravings....Honey Maid Delight Bars. They are 100 calorie snack bars. The "cheesecake" flavored one is 2 points but it really fills my afternoon need!
