LOW CARB Mexican Fiesta! Enchiladas, Rice and Beans!! Yummy :)

[paulachappell]

I made some quickie enchiladas  the other day with pre-cooked store bought turkey breast, alfredo sauce and pepper jack cheese, I thought I had died and gone to Mexican food heaven.  Can't wait to try these.  Love the low carb tortillas.

yum paula! what a great idea!

[paulachappell]

thanks umpa, between work and church I am always looking for quickie meals

[Rena]

So, what was the carb count for that entire meal? Seems like a lot of food. I miss Mexican.

[Doug Varrieur]

Hi Rena, around 10 for the entire recipe depending on the serving sizes for rice, beans and sauce. We cut the tortillas in half to cut even more carbs.

Rena you can also use your low carb tortillas for quesadillas, tacos and nachos.

Thanks, ShihTzumMom! We've done that for quesadillas and chips. We're going to make enchiladas soon, but probably not the cauliflower rice or soybeans. I'd like them, but no one else would and I'd hate for them to go to waste.

[Doug Varrieur]

Are you sure no one else would like the rice and beans Rena? Have they tried the recipe yet?

[Rena]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure. I'm the only one out of a family of 6 that even likes beans. One of my girls likes refried beans, but that's about it. Rick HATES beans or peas with a passion. "They're too mushy!" He's such a baby. I know I'd like the cauliflower rice, but not sure about Rick. He's not too fond of the cauli-mashed, although I love it. To me, it's more about the texture, but for him it's all about taste.

I looked for soybeans the other day but only found the green ones in the frozen section. Are yours canned? I didn't even look in the canned section. I'll look again or order some online.

We're making enchiladas tonight, though!

Thanks, Joanne! There's actually a place nearby here, which is surprising because I live in northwestern Montana. Thanks, again!

Thanks, Doug! I'll pick some up next time I'm in town.

When i make chili with the black soy beans i put them in with the raw meat so they have a chance to soften up.make sure you cook them long enough.

Making your chili in the crock pot so they simmer all day also works great.
