Mike's Low-Fat Recipes
|
Chicken
Fajitas
|
 |
Boneless, skinless chicken breasts |
 |
1 can Old El Paso Fat-Free refried beans |
 |
1 jar Old El Paso salsa |
 |
1 package Healthy Choice fat-free cheddar cheese, shredded |
 |
1 chopped onion |
 |
Shredded lettuce |
 |
Soft-shell tortillas |
|
|
Season the chicken breasts with your
favorite seasoning and grill. While the chicken is cooking, warm the
refried beans and prepare the onion and lettuce. When the chicken and
beans are ready, place a tortilla on a plate and warm in the microwave
for 30 seconds. Place the grilled chicken (cut in strips) and refried
beans in the warm tortilla followed by the salsa, cheese, onions and
lettuce. Roll up the tortilla and enjoy!
Note: I use Old El Paso because they don't use sugars or oils.

Strawberry/Banana
Cake
|
 |
Low-fat pancake mix |
 |
1 box Jell-O sugar-free banana instant pudding |
 |
Fresh strawberries |
 |
Egg whites |
 |
Skim milk |
|
|
Prepare the pancake mix as directed on
the box. Make two pancakes approximately nine inches in diameter and
cool. While the pancakes are cooling, prepare the pudding using skim
milk. Then place one of the cooled pancakes in a nine-inch pie or cake
pan. Place half of the pudding on the pancake and smooth evenly. Then
place the second pancake on top and cover with the remaining pudding.
Cover the top with the sliced fresh strawberries. Chill and serve.

Lasagna
|
 |
1 box lasagna noodles, regular or whole wheat |
 |
1 jar low-fat spaghetti sauce |
 |
1 package of ground turkey breast |
 |
1 package fresh mushrooms, sliced |
 |
1 package Healthy Choice fat-free mozzarella cheese,
shredded |
 |
Minced garlic |
 |
Italian seasoning |
 |
Fat-free parmesan cheese |
|
|
Cook the noodles according to the
instructions on the box. While the noodles are cooking, spray a
non-stick skillet with Pam and sauté the mushrooms and minced garlic
(how much garlic you use is your preference). Add the ground turkey
breast and brown. Stir in the spaghetti sauce and Italian seasoning.
Simmer for 10 minutes. Spray a casserole dish lightly with Pam and add a
layer of noodles followed by a layer of the turkey/spaghetti sauce
mixture. Repeat until finished (usually about three layers). Place the
shredded mozzarella cheese on top and then sprinkle with parmesan
cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 35 - 45 minutes.
