Chilaquiles Fritatta



Chilaquiles is probably one of my FAVORITE Mexican dishes of all time! If you've never had it, you're missing out! Basically, it's a mix of "scrap foods" fried up in a pan with some leftover tortillas. One day, I was thinking about something yummy to make for breakfast, but I was also craving Mexican food. Then, I had the genious idea to make a Mexican Fritatta, Chilaquiles style! This version is MUCH healthier too by the way!!!

Ingredients:

Cooking spray

Black beans

Tomatoes

Frozen corn

Corn tortillas

Shredded cheddar cheese

Egg whites

Your favorite brand of hot sauce

Guacamole (topping)

Very soft avocado

Jalapeno peppers

Salt

For the guacamole, just blend the avocado, peppers, and desired amount of salt in a blender until smooth. Set aside. Preheat your oven to 375. Add the rinsed beans, diced tomatoes, frozen corn, cheese and egg whites into a mixing bowl and mix together until all the ingredients are combined. Spray a casserol dish with cooking spray, then pour the mixture in. Bake in the oven for about 10 minutes at the set tempurature. Then, change the oven setting to broil and continue to cook for 5 more minutes, or until the top gets crispy and slightly brown. Let cool for about 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Top with guacamole, then enjoy!

Ponzu Lettuce Wraps

 

When you think of mock ground beef, you probably don't think about pleasant things. But you might be suprised at how similar the morning star brand is to the taste and texture of real beef! Make it for your friends and family, but don't tell them it's made out of soy, see if they even notice! I bet they wont!

Ingredients:
Head of lettuce
Mock ground beef
Olive oil
soy sauce
lemon juice
Ginger powder
Chili paste (optional)
Carrots
Mushrooms
Onions
Cashews
Water chestnuts

When prepping, dice all your veggies very small. Heat a pan on Medium. Add olive oil and all the veggies. Sautee the veggies for about 3 minutes, then add the mock beef. Combine by stirring. Then add the soy sauce, lemon juice, chili paste, and ginger powder. Stir for about a minute longer. Then turn off heat and remove from the burner. Set aside until it cools slightly. Break off pieces of lettuce to use as serving cups. Serve some of the filling into each lettuce cup, and enjoy!



Cheesy Stuffed Mushrooms

I never understand people who don't like mushrooms. They are BY FAR one of my favorite veggies! This is a simple Italian recipe that will make even mushroom haters into mushroom lovers! Great as an appetizer, snack, or lunch! It's a must-try recipe!

Ingredients:

Small portabello mushrooms
Fontina cheese
Parmisean cheese
Scallions
Bread crumbs
Dry Italian herbs
Olive oil
Cooking spray
Marinara

Preheat your oven to 375. Carefuly remove the stems from the mushrooms, leaving a perfect little hole in the middle of the mushrooms for stuffing. Place each mushroom on a baking sheet with cooking spray. In a bowl, combine shredded fontina, diced scallions, and a dash of olive oil. Stuff the mushrooms as full as you can with the stuffing. Top with bread crumbs, parmisean, and Italian herbs. Bake in the oven for about 12 minutes, or until the mushrooms are softened and the top is crispy. Serve with a side of marinara for dipping and enjoy!
