Not So Skinny Enchiladas

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!

  1. I'm going to have to try this one! I've been wanting to make enchiladas for awhile. Tell Rick I said they look AWESOME. Have fun this weekend 🙂

  3. 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!

  4. 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!

  11. Thanks Ann. Yeah…it's true. I can only go low fat so many times! My boyfriend made the chicken version of them for me last night…I was able to stick to having just 1 and a half this time but…still hard to resist!
