How do you make Skinny Beef Enchiladas?

First you’re going to want to make the sauce. You can find the directions for that right here.

For the enchiladas,
1. Preheat the oven to 350º F.

2. Lightly grease the bottom of a casserole pan.

3. Cover the bottom of the pan with 1/4 cup of enchilada sauce.

4. Next, roll the enchiladas–placing some cheese and your leftover carne aunhappya meat in the middle of a corn tortilla. I used 3/4C carne aunhappya for every two enchiladas, and 1/3 cup cheese for four enchiladas (it’s 1 tablespoon of cheese for each enchilada).

Are these 21 Day Mend Beef Enchiladas?

Of course they are! For the 21 Day Mend/Portion Mend, 2 enchiladas counts as 1 Yellow, 1 Red, 1 Blue. If you choose to count the domesticcrazye sauce, add 1/2 Yellow.

Note about the enchilada sauce: I’d personally count a 1/2 Y per 1/2 cup serving for the sauce, but peppers are technically free. The carbs are tall with these though, so I feel better counting it. It’s totally up to you.

Note about the sauce: Technically it’s a zero point food because peppers aren’t normally counted–but like I mentioned for the 21 Day Mend, this recipe has carbs because there are so many peppers. Count it as you see fit ;)
