Lean Bean Cheesy Enchiladas
Ingredients:
2 large corn tortillas (like Mission Super Size)
1 slice fat-free cheddar cheese, cut in half
2/3 cup enchilada sauce
1/3 cup fat-free refried beans
1/4 cup shredded fat-free cheddar cheese
1/4 cup chopped onions
1 tbsp. taco sauce
1/2 tsp. taco seasoning mix, dry
Optional toppings: fat-free sour cream, chopped scallions
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a pan sprayed with nonstick spray, cook onions over medium heat until they begin to brown (about 2 minutes). In a small dish, combine the onions with the refried beans, taco sauce, and taco seasoning. Mix well. Spray a small baking dish with nonstick spray. Heat tortillas in the microwave until slightly warm. Lay the tortillas on a clean, dry surface, and then spread about 2 tbsp. of the enchilada sauce onto each one. Place one half of the cheese slice on each tortilla. Then, evenly distribute the bean mixture into the center of each tortilla. Wrap the tortillas up tightly, and place them in the baking dish seam side down. Pour the rest of the enchilada sauce over the enchiladas. Bake in the oven for about 10 minutes (until the enchiladas are hot). Remove dish from the oven, sprinkle shredded cheese over the enchiladas, and then return it to the oven for about 5 minutes (until the cheese is nice and melty). Plate those babies and, if you like, top with some of the optional ingredients. Enjoy! MAKES 2 SERVINGS

Diet Pizza – Now That’sa Pizza Pie!
Craving a pizza with pizzazz while dieting? This luscious little lovely might harness those taste buds and keep you frolicking through the wildflowers of Diet Land with a smile on your lips.
The Ingredients for Low Calorie, Lower Fat Pizza:
1 hoagie bun or French bread cut in half (careful!). Aim for a calorie content of 150 calories.
About 1/2 cup of your favorite marinara sauce. Aim for about 35 calories.
2 slices of skimmed mozzarella cheese. Aim for 50 calories per slice for a total of 100 calories.
Non-stick butter spray.
How to prepare low calorie pizza:
Spray non-stick pan with butter spray. Next, spray the non-crusted side of the bread with butter spray and place carefully onto warm pan. DO NOT PRESS ON BREAD. Allow to toast on a slow heat so that you achieve a nice, buttery, crunchy, crusty layer on your bread. Crusty can be good!
Remove and place onto a plate. Top the toasted side with piping hot marinara sauce. You’ll want your sauce hot so that it will melt the cheese.
Foodnote: If you require a more melty cheese, then pop into the microwave for just a few seconds to allow cheese to melt more.
Fold mozzarella cheese in half and place two slices on each toasted bread.
