I know a lot of healthy living foodie bloggers thrive on lowfat recipes — or being able to boast something tasty but healthy or low-calorie. That’s now how I do things around here. Rarely do I buy any kind of substitute ingredients because sorry, there’s no substitute for the real thing.

In fact, last night I bought the 1/2 fat kind of cookies n’ cream Breyers ice cream and was totally disappointed. These taste buds are used to rich and creamy, decadent and dreamy 🙂 I also bought low-fat Oreos for a special something I’ll be whipping up tomorrow. And guess what? Well, I sneaked one or two and I could TOTALLY tell they were low-fat. I’m done with this low-fat business. 
But anyway…back to these “not so skinny enchiladas.’ I don’t make them. But Rick does. And they are amaaaahhhhzing. This is the third time he’s made them for me and every time, I feel like I’m eating the best dinner of my life. So simple people. Yeah these photos aren’t the best but…I still wanted to share!
Not So Skinny Enchiladas

—  4 Large sun-dried tomato and basil tortiilla shells (plan works too)
— 3 cups of ground beef, cooked or shredded chicken
— 1/2 white onion, diced and tossed with meat
— 1-2 bell peppers, diced and tossed with meat
— 1 can/bottle of enchilada sauce
— 1 bag of mixed Mexican cheese
— Sour cream for topping
Directions: Cook the meat and add the onions and peppers to cook. When finished add enough meat to each shell (fairly full) and top the inside with a layer of cheese. Fold shells over meat like burritos and douse them in enchilada sauce. Top with all the rest of the cheese. Cook in the pre-heated oven on 450 for abut 10 minutes or until the cheese looks sufficiently melted and gorgeous!

    My husband and I often opt for the "real" thing too. He freaks out if it says words like "light," or "low-fat," or whatever. We'll be in the grocery store, and the reduced fat wheat thins are on sale, and he'll be like, "No, they're too healthy!" Hilarious! But on the Oreo front, real (or double-stuffed, if you're like me and Jess)is ALWAYS worth it. And the enchiladas look sooooo good!

    Dude… Did you know Oreos now have a new thing called triple-doubles?!?! They are like two different flavored double stuffs stuck together into one gianormous Oreo cookie… I love me some Oreo goodness!

    Being a healthy cooking blogger…all I can say is…YUM! Some times, you've got to indulge and if this does it, I say enjoy! I had a burger last night and loved it! But today it's back to healthy eating! GREAT recipe!
