Cinco de Mayo

We stayed in for Mexican on Cinco de Mayo. I found a healthy WW recipe online for baked chimichangas and they were pretty good! I took a picture of them that night and today realized my memory card was not in the camera when I took it. Oh well, but here's the recipe.

Baked Chimichangas:

8 ounces ground 90% lean turkey or beef ( I used beef)

1/2 cup chopped onion

1/2 teaspoon minced garlic

1 cup chunky salsa

1 teaspoon chili seasoning

8 (6-inch) flour tortillas

1/4 cup no-fat sour cream

Preheat oven to 475° F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with olive oil-flavored cooking spray.

In a large skillet sprayed with olive oil-flavored cooking spray, brown meat and onion. Stir in garlic, 1/2 cup salsa, and Jo's chili seasoning. Lower heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Spoon 1/4 cup meat mixture into center of each tortilla. Lightly spray tops with butter-flavored cooking spray.

Bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until golden brown.

For each serving, place a chimichanga on a serving plate, spoon 2 tablespoons salsa and 1 tablespoon sour cream over top.

Serves 4 (2 each). Serving size (2 chimichangas)

This came with the recipe: Per serving: 276 Cal, 8g Fat, 2g Fiber Healthy Exchanges: 2 Bread, 1 1/2 Protein, 3/4 Vegetable, 15 Opt. Cal. Diabetic: 2 Starch, 1 1/2 Meat, 1 Vegetable

WW Points: 6 pt.

I served it with black beans.
