So today I went to Fresh Market in search of Crispy Green Freeze Dried Fruit. I found Crispy Pineapple, Pear, Mango and Banana. I love this stuff! I bought the Crispy Pear and Crispy Pineapple. You get 6 bags for just under $7.00 at 40 calories or less a bag and when I did the caculation at Weight Watchers they are Zero points! If you haven’t tried this product yet be on the watch for it.
So for dinner tonight I decided I wanted Mexican. I had also found some Multi-Grain Tortillas, 94% Fat Free that are only 1 Point each at 60 calories each. They are made by Tumaroo’s Gourmet Tortillas. I was worried they might be like cardboard but I was wrong. They were actually very good. Teamed with some 95% Ground Sirloin I had a meal plan.
Tacos
1 lb. 95% Ground Sirloin
4 Tablespoons Penzey’s Taco Spice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup Picante Sauce
1/2 cup water
Weight Watcher’s Mexican Cheese
Chopped Lettuce
Picante Sauce for top of taco
Brown ground sirloin.
Stir in spices, chopped onion, Picante Sauce and water.
Cook over medium heat for 20 - 30 minutes.
Here is the taco before I added the lettuce. I also spread a thin layer (2 tablespoons) of beans on the taco before I added the beef mixture.
Easy Fat Free Refried Beans
1 can Pinto Beans
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 can chicken broth
salt and pepper
water - as needed
Drain beans and rinse well.
Add remaining ingredients to a pan with beans and bring to a boil. Cook over medium heat while you prepare the taco filling.
Just before serving use a potato masher and mash beans. They should be creamy. If not add a little more water and heat for a few more minutes.
Taste for seasoning.
Points for 1 Taco with 1/2 cup of the beans is 6 points.
The rice was a boxed rice and was 3 points a serving made using the box directions.
