My favorite recipes! The dishes in many Asian, Mexican and Indian cuisines almost always utilize fresh produce and often exotic and aromatic spices. Many of these spices, such as ginger, turmeric and chilies are now recognized as providing many health benefits and antioxidant qualities. You'll also note that the majority of the dishes use chicken or seafood instead of beef.
MEXICAN/SOUTHWESTERN
QUESADILLAS CON FRIJOLES REFRITOS-Fat free refried beans, corn and Monterey jack cheese is baked on whole wheat or flour tortillas till melted. A "car friendly "food for soccer moms and very healthy.
CHICKEN ENCHILADOS WITH RED OR GREEN CHILI SAUCE. Old fashioned enchiladas with your choice of red or green sauce. The green sauce is made from tomatillos and has a bright lime-like taste.
SWISS CHICKEN ENCHILADOS-An interesting variation on the above dish with a white sauce and Swiss cheese instead of cheddar.
STEAK a LA MEXICAN-Skirt steak cut into strips grilled and served with a tomato and cilantro salsa sauce.
PUEBLA STYLE CHICKEN MOLE- A classic Mexican dish with chicken breasts and thighs simmered in a complex mole sauce then finished with a hint of chocolate!
TEX-MEX LASAGNA-This one will be a favorite. Ground turkey mixed with south of the border seasonings, black beans and Mexican cheeses will convert you to this version.
PORK ENCHILADAS-Lean pork with a green salsa and Monterey Jack cheese.
