Ingredients
- 2 can green chile minced
- 3 x cloves garlic
- 1 med red onion quartered
- 1 c. reduced fat monterrey jack/colby cheese
- 3/4 c. fresh cilantro loosely packed
- 1/2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
- 4 ounce pork in small cubes or possibly chopped
- 16 ounce hominy, canned rinsed and liquid removed
- 32 ounce black beans rinsed and liquid removed
- 6 ounce spinach leaves prewashed
- 18 sm corn tortillas
Directions
- Here's a recipe I adapted from Bon Appetit. I reduced the meat, oil, and cheese. I boosted the amount of beans. I used corn tortillas instead of flour tortillas. I thought it worked pretty well and it's packed with good stuff for you (beans, spinach, chilies).
- Note which this recipe was in the Food Processor column so the instructions include using one. You can do everything by hand, but it will take longer. It's pretty quick with a food processor.
- Laredo Beans & Greens Burritos (serves 6 generously)
- 1. Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 400 degrees
- 2. Mince garlic in food processor. Add in onion and chop coarsely.
- Remove and set aside.
- 3. Heat oil in heavy 12" skillet over medium-high heat. Add in green chilies, garlic, onion and pork. Saute/fry till pork is cooked through, stirring occasionally, about 10 min.
- 4. Mince cilantro and cheese.
- 5.Add in hominy and beans and cook for about 4 min. Add in spinach and stir till just wilted, about 1 minute. Transfer mix to a large gratin dish. Sprinkle with cilantro/cheese mix.
- 6. Bake 10 min. Stack tortillas and wrap in foil. Place tortillas in oven. Continue baking filling till cheese melts and begins to brown, about 10 min.
- 7. To serve, spoon filling into hot tortillas and roll up.
- Serve with salsa and nonfat lowfat sour cream, if you like.
- I figured it out and I think it comes to 8 grams of fat
