Saveur recipe has 1 cup of cream also in soup and serves it with a spoonful of sour cream. You can add if you like.
GREAT Breakfast item: nice carb load and SUPER dose of protein keeps ME full until after noon!
Protein Bombs, I like to call these. FULL of protein, LOADED with fiber, and smuggling a pretty decent dose of calcium. Tone down the sriracha if you like...OR, add more.
This is best when chilled in the fridge for at least an hour. Can be used as a dip for chips, a filling for tortillas, or a stand alone snack. Add cilantro, garlic powder and salt depending on your tastes.
I love making this to put inside a whole grain pita or wrap. Makes a great, fast lunch.
*The calorie count on this is much lower than what is calculated here because you don't use all the marinade. The calorie count from Oldwayspt.org (where I got the recipe) is 486 per serving. While that's still pretty high, this dish is extremely filling and you may really only be able to eat half to three-quarters of a serving before you're full.
I spent two years trying to imitate restaurant-style queso. I used all different kinds of special Mexican cheeses and combinations of cheeses to no avail. Finally, it dawned on me - a restaurant isn't going to spend big money to get an authentic Mexican cheese. So I bought a block of Land o Lakes American Cheese from the deli counter at Walmart (other brands work too - as long as it's the block version, not sliced, American cheese - white or yellow, they taste the same!). This simple ingredient made all the difference. As much as I hate giving away my secret to the world, I know there are others who want that great restaurant-style queso at home. You can add other ingredients as you like ... cilantro is great, as well as tomato after the queso is done cooking. All kinds of ways to make this your own. Have fun!
This recipe is so low calories, you can add cheese or low-fat sour cream as toppings!
Wholesome, filling, comfort food that is good for you. Makes a great vegitarian chili, just delete the mince and prepare as noted.
