A few weeks ago I came across a recipe of the Mexican persuasion that I loved (naturally adding my own twist as I am prone to do...) See what you think!
Chimi's
1 lb lean ground meat (I used hamburger because we eat a lot of ground turkey, but turkey or chicken would work too)
Garlic salt, onion powder and cumin to taste (sorry, this is how I cook!)
1 small onion
1 can green chilies
1 1/2 C. salsa
Cheese (I use 2% sharp cheddar cheese. Less calories and sharp cheddar gives you that cheese flavor without having to use much)
Tortillas (low carb, whole wheat, whatever you like. I used extra large flour...oops)
Egg whites
Brown meat with onion and chilies. Mix in salsa and let simmer for 5 minutes. Warm up each tortilla and sprinkle with cheese, add meat mixture. Roll each tortilla, tucking the ends. Brush with egg whites (this will make them crispy) and cook at 325 for 15-25 minutes or...until crispy!
VARIATION(S): add any (or all!) of the following to the meat mixture: corn, olives, rice, tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, spinach, shredded carrots
I served these delicious little pockets with beans and rice (obviously), and some avocado verde from wholly guacamole. That verde is the bees knees. I put it on everything!
