Gren Chiles Recipes

This was very good and much easier than stuffing the cheese into the chiles, but with pretty much the same flavor of the traditional method. If you don't care for hot food, you could use plain Monterey jack cheese instead of the pepper-jack. For myself I added more pepper.

Great for tacos, enchiladas or served as a sandwich with some added BBQ Sauce.

My family loves my enchiladas. They are easy to make. If you aren't counting calories or carbs, you could use regular tortillas. Serve refried beans or caesar salad to make a complete meal.

Makes 8 enchiladas...double the nutritional info and have 2 of 'em and you're still being pretty good. :D

This easy combo makes a great lunch or light dinner.

Tucked into tortillas, with corn and black beans, or atop a bed of lettuce, this is a delicious staple at our house. Easy crowd pleaser!

A great dish for a brunch, breakfast or dinner.

A great dip to share with friends while watching your favorite games or for movie night!

Spinach with a little kick!

This is the chicken enchiladas casserole with low-fat ingredients substituted.

Less fatting than original But the butter adds to the flavor.
A friend likes it when I substitue chiles for fresh peas.
(Original called for whole milk or heavy cream and more butter.)

This is a great slimmed down version of that wonderful full fat cheesy chicken spaghetti. Delish!!

a chicken enchilada with spinach and tomatoes and a sour cream enchilada sauce

This tortilla soup tastes better than anything you can get at a restaurant. And it's healthy too! Don't let the long list of ingredients fool you. All you do is dump everything into the slow cooker and walk away.

I threw this together from what I had in my pantry at the time. With proper planning, I'd use fat-free soup and sour cream. It is delicious as-is, but fat could certainly stand to be cut.

You can put the chicken into the slow cooker while still frozen, so prep time is virtually non-existent! A great choice to throw in before bed for lunch at work or in the morning for that night's dinner.

This recipe calls for two pounds of chicken, also because it was what I had available (three large breasts), but would make a great meal with just one pound, too.

I served this along with brown rice and black beans. Tasty!

This recipe is adapted from several others which I combined and adjusted to my own preference. It's easy to play around with ingredients, so have fun!

Based on the Jalepeno Heaven dish, but different.

I got this recipe from Smitten Kitchen, and oh is it ever good, and ever easy! With only a little bit of prep work, you let the slow cooker do the rest for you!

Recipe from the above link, modified to exclude cilantro, subbed in lemon juice for lime.

A deliciously light Mexican tortilla treat!

If you've never cooked with lemongrass, try it out in this yummy main course.

Low in fat and high in fiber, these burritos will satisfy your hunger.

Half of the beans are finely chopped to give the filling a thick, creamy consistency. This dish can be made up to 8 hours in advance and chilled; just bring it back to room temperature before baking.

For added panache, serve it in
bread bowls.

A spicy side dish-a great compliment to any meal.

This is your basic chicken tortilla soup without the tortilla's factored into the bottom line calorie total. It is a pretty fast and filling lunch or dinner that you can throw together using an already cooked rotisserie chicken from the grocery store. Fee free to customize it any way you see fit.
