Beef Taco Bake

A super easy recipe straight from Campbell's! Literally. We have a Campbell's cook book and when you need an easy and quick idea - it's great.

yield: 4 servings (43 pts for the entire dish, but you could EASILY reduce that...so 11pts/serving)

1 lb ground beef, browned

1 can tomato soup

1 cup salsa

1/2 cup milk

6 (8") tortillas, cut into 1" pieces

1 cup shredded cheddar

1. preheat to 400-degrees

2. brown hamburger (I added some minced onion and seasonings we enjoy)

3. while hamburger is browning, tear up tortillas and set aside

4. once hamburger is ready, stir in soup, salsa, milk, 1/2 cup of cheese and the tortillas

5. mix until all tortilla pieces are coated

6. spoon into 9X13 baking dish

7. bake 20-30 minutes

8. top with rest of cheese and serve

I had mine with some leftover lettuce and tomatoes from BLTs the other day. It'd be great with sour cream if you're a sour cream lover. And like I said, it'd be easy to make this healthier and more weight watcher friendly. Simply use less beef and tortillas...and fat-free cheese.

Fish Stick Tacos

I was a bit surprised that this would be considered a ww recipe on the ww site, but it is and I was happy to give it a try!

yield: 4 servings (5 ww pts each)

8 fish tenders (they're a little bigger than the sticks)

4 large burrito wheat flour tortillas (we used smaller ones)

1/4 cup sour cream (or save some points and skip it)

1/2 cup salsa

2 cups lettuce, shredded

1 large tomatoe, diced

1/2 cup shredded cheese

(we also used diced green pepper and onion because we had it)

1. bake fish sticks according to package

2. warm tortillas on fry pan, in oven or even in the microwave for a few seconds

3. prepare tacos with two fish sticks and all your favorite taco toppings and enjoy

This was a pleasant surprise. I'm not so much of a "fish taco person" so I was a little hesitant but really - fish sticks are a far cry from "real" fish tacos - so we went for it. YUM! The sticks get crisy when baking and are so delicious in a taco! We'll definitely do this one again! I love easy and this recipe is E-A-S-Y!

Tortilla Pie

yield: 4 servings (6 ww pts each)

1 cup tomato sauce
3/4 cup salsa
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (I used a tsp or so of dried)
2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp ground cumin (we didn't use this)
5 medium corn tortillas (we used flour)
30 oz black beans, drained and rinsed
8 oz diced green chilies
1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

1. preheat over to 400-degrees
2. in a small bowl, mix tomato sauce, salsa, cilantro, chili powder and cumin
3. on a large nonstick skillet, warm tortillas and set aside
4. drain and rinse the black beans and then mash and set aside
5. in a pie dish, place 1/4 cup of the salsa mixture in the bottom
6. layer with a tortilla, more tomato mixture, mashed beans, 2 Tbsp of chilies and then 1 Tbsp of cheese
7. repeat until ingredients are gone
8. bake for 20-30 minutes

We only had one can of black beans so I used 1 can of black beans and then 1 can of corn in my "bean mash" and it was really tasty. While I'm sure it's good with all beans, I like the variety and color that the corn gives it. We also had our tortilla pie with some spanish rice and while it may be a meat-less dish, I'm proud to report that we all got full!
