Biggest Loser Nachos

*I varied fromt his a bit, but not much.  They were great.

Enchiladas

I think these are fairly easy. They are my mom's recipe and I have been afraid to make them thinking they'd be difficult, but I was surprised at how easy they are. For just me and my husband I only make about 1/2 of what this calls for and we still have leftovers for lunch. It's really flexible, so if you don't have all the beef it calls for just do a little less in each enchilada.

Enchiladas

Sauce:

1 10 oz. Las Palmas Enchilada sauce

1 8 oz. can tomato sauce

Mix and warm

Beef Filling:

1 ½ lb. ground beef

1 tsp. salt

½ bunch green onions (bottoms)

Other ingredients:

1 small can chopped olives

1 ½ lb. sharp cheese (grated)

Corn tortillas

Green onion tops

Cook meat, onions, and salt until meat is well broken into small pieces.

Dip tortillas into sauce. Fill with meat, olives, cheese. Turn rolled side down into baking pan. Put remaining sauce, a few olives, chopped onions (tops), and cheese over all. Bake 450 for 15 mins.

Taco Soup from a can

Ok, this is the easiest recipe. The soup is decent, not amazing, but it can pass for a pretty decent meal. And sometimes when I am really lazy or there is nothing in the fridge, I leave out the cheese, and chips and optional extras. It's the perfect recipe for food storage too, since it's all cans.

So are you ready?

1 can Stewed Tomatoes (the mexican kind is good, or regular, but don't get italian-that's just weird)
1 can Yellow Corn
1 can Black Beans
1 can Kidney Beans
1 can Green Beans (Just the regular cut kind)
Taco Seasoning (I usually use half the packet, to cut down on sodium)
Shredded cheese
Tortilla Chips

Optional:
Sour Cream
Guacamole
Browned Beef

So open all the cans and dump them into a big pot. Yes, even the juices from the cans. Then I cut up the stewed tomatoes a bit. Turn the heat on medium or medium-high. Add your taco seasoning and beef (optional). It should be warm in about 8 minutes. Pull the pot off the stove and serve into bowls. Top with tortilla chips, cheese and sour cream and guacamole.

So easy...open cans, pour them in a pot.
