Directions

Preheat oven to 425 F. Brown ground meat in a skillet over medium high heat. Stir in taco seasoning, tomato sauce and beans. Set aside. I assembled foil packets, sprayed the foil with non-stick spray. Place 1 cup sweet potato cubes in the center of each piece. Top with a small piece of butter (about 1 tsp) and a pnch of salt. Sprinkle some chopped spinach over the sweet potatoes, followed by about 1/3 c. of taco meat and a sprinkle of cheese. Fold the sides in, then bring the top and bottom ends of the foil together in the center and fold, sealing the packet.
Place packets on a rimmed cookie sheet and bake 25-30 minutes, until the sweet potatoes are tender. Serve with sour cream, salsa and a slice of avocado.

Chicken Enchilada-Style for the Slow Cooker

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!Submitted by: BLUEKITTEN

Fajita Chicken

Wrap this chicken in tortillas with whatever extra fillings you enjoy. Delicious! (And much better than that fajita seasoning you buy in packets!)
