The recipe basically came from Hungry Girl's "Chicken Enchilada Casserole" on page 66 of _Hungry Girl 1-2-3. _We used 8 oz extra lean ground beef instead. Also, instead of corn tortillas, we used one La Tortilla Factory tortilla with 13 grams on fiber. The use of 98% fat free cream of celery condensed soup was interesting. We used that but I think we could have also used the 98% FF cream of chicken instead. We also added our own seasonings and some peas and corn.

It was very good. A bit salty but good. We put too much cheese on top and because it is fat free, it hardened. We used a knife to cut it but after that is was good. It also made more than enough for two [large] dinners and two [medium/small] lunches.

She gets about 4 servings at 5/serving. I get lower largely due (I think) to using one flour tortilla with all that fibers (becomes free if split) over her six small corn tortillas.

Total points for 2 x 1/3 portions (dinner) and 2 x 1/6 (lunch):

beef...8

Tortilla...0 (when split later)

Soup...3

cheese...3 (and could have been less in the future)

Misc veggies...1

----------------------------------

=15. So dinner was ONLY five each. Lunch is 2.5
