No Guilt Cheese Enchiladas

Calories: 241.3 Total Fat: 8.5 g Cholesterol: 18.0 mg Sodium: 695.0 mg Total Carbs: 27.4 g Dietary Fiber: 2.4 g Protein: 11.7 g Savings: 708 calories and 12 g fat 1 cup shredded Mexican four cheese blend 3/4 cup chopped white onions 1 can (19 ounces) enchilada sauce 3 Tbsp sliced black olives

Ingredients
12 8-inch Corn Tortillas 1/2 cup fat-free cottage cheese 1/2 cup part-skim ricotta 2 Tbsp diced green chilies

Directions
Step 1: Soften the tortillas. Normally, tortillas are softened by lightly frying them in hot oil. Skinny enchiladas skip this step...and all the fat! Pour the enchilada sauce in a skillet and heat. Dip each tortilla in the hot sauce, coating each side, for a few seconds. Shake off and place on microwavable platter, 3 or 4 at a time, making sure that they do not overlap. Microwave for 20-40 seconds, until soft. (Time will vary according to your microwave oven.) Set aside to cool. Step 2: In a bowl, mix 3/4 cup finely chopped onion (about 1/2 a large onion), ricotta, cottage cheese, green chilies (mild or hot, to taste), and salt and pepper to taste. Add half the shredded cheese (1/2 cup.) Mix with fork until ingredients are blended. Step 3: Spray a rectangular casserole dish with non-stick spray. Place approximately 1/12th of the cheese mixture (about 1/4 cup) on a tortilla and loosely roll. Place seam side down in casserole dish. Repeat until all tortillas are filled. Spread remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the enchiladas. Step 4: Bake for 15 minutes in an oven preheated to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. After 15 minutes, remove and evenly spread the remaining cheese and the black olives on top. Return to oven for 10 more minutes. Serve hot.

Pineapple Onion and Bacon Pizza

Calories: 183.2 Total Fat: 5.0 g Cholesterol: 8.6 mg Sodium: 570.8 mg Total Carbs: 28.3 g Dietary Fiber: 0.9 g Protein: 7.6 g Savings: 67 calories and 3 g fat Ingredients Crust:1 premade pizza crust (SparkPeople recommends whole-wheat crust)

Toppings:
4 slices center-cut bacon 1/4 cup diced red onion 3/4 cup (6 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained) 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning 1/2 tsp fennel seed 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes 1/4 t minced garlic

Sauce:
4 Roma tomatoes, peeled, seeded and cored 1/2 tsp basil 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil 1 t brown sugar (unpacked)

Directions
Set a large frying pan over medium heat, spritz with nonstick cooking spray and add bacon. Cook bacon for eight minutes, flipping every two minutes to keep it from curling up. Place bacon on paper towels to drain. The bacon should still be flexible and soft; it will crisp up on the pizza. Tear into small pieces. Place tomatoes in a blender along with all the spices, salt, sugar and oil. Blend till smooth and pour into pot. Cook on medium high for 30 minutes or until reduced by half. (SparkPeople note: Use a low-sodium jarred tomato sauce to save time.) While the tomato sauce is cooking, dice the onions and drain the pineapple. Roll out the dough into your desired shape and thickness. Place on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil and sprayed with cooking spray. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Place 1/2 cup of sauce on pizza. Sprinkle on 1/2 cup of cheese, 1 cup of pineapple and bacon pieces. Sprinkle on remaining 1/4 cup of cheese. Bake in oven for 14 minutes on middle rack. If you prefer a browner pizza, broil pizza for an additional couple of minutes, watching to ensure it doesn't burn. Once it looks good and brown,remove and let sit for 10 minutes to let the cheese firm up a little. Slice into eight pieces. Number of Servings: 8 Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user KRAMTHEGRAM.

Southwestern Eggrolls
Calories: 359.7 Cholesterol: 33.9mg Total Carbs: 36.4 g Protein: 18.6 g Total Fat: 17.1 g Sodium: 652.4 mg Dietary Fiber: 9.1 g Savings: 560 calories and 40 g fat 2 Tbsp chopped, frozen spinach 1/4 tsp dried parsley 1/2 tsp ground cumin 1/2 tsp chili powder dash cayenne pepper salt to taste 4 oz shredded Monterey Jack cheese
(or Pepper Jack for a little extra kick)

Ingredients
1 boneless, skinless chicken breast, pounded flat 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil 2 Tbsp chopped bell pepper (red or green) 2 Tbsp chopped green onion 2 Tbsp chopped fresh jalapeno pepper 3/4 cup black beans, rinsed (1/2 of 15 oz can) 3/4 cup whole kernel corn, rinsed (1/2 of 15 oz can) 1 medium avocado

Directions

5 whole wheat tortillas, 8 inch

Broil the chicken breast until the juices run clear. Set aside to cool. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil. Add the bell pepper, green onion and jalapeno pepper. Saute a few minutes, until the vegetables are tender. Shred the chicken breast. Add the chicken, black beans, corn, spinach and spices to the skillet and mix well. Cook for a few more minutes on low, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and stir in cheese until melted. Heat each tortilla and add 1/5 of the mixture. Fold the tortilla so it is completely closed. Place on a small cookie sheet folded side down. When all five are filled, put cookie sheet in the broiler and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side of the eggroll or until the tortilla is crispy and golden brown. Cut each eggroll diagonally and serve with mashed avocado. You can dip in sour cream, salsa, or guacamole (not included in nutritional values). You can always adjust the spices to your taste. *If made in advance and frozen for later, bake the eggroll 25 -30 minutes at 350 and then broil each side for a 2 - 3 minutes to get the crispy shell. These can also be made with firm tofu instead of the chicken for a vegetarian meal -- great both ways. Number of Servings: 5 Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user RONDARC.
