My boyfriend decided that he was going to start eating healthier this year as well (finally!). I asked him to look through my cookbooks and mark the recipes that sounded good to him. This is one of his choices.
 |
| Quick Chicken Carnitas |
 |
| Shred the cheese. |
 |
| Cook garlic, onion, and chicken until browned. |
 |
| Add tomatoes, cumin, and chili powder. |
 |
| Simmer. |
 |
| Add cilantro. Spoon into a tortilla and sprinkle cheese on top. |
 |
| Quick Gaspacho and Quick Chicken Carnitas. |
If made to recipe and split into 4 servings, this recipe is 9 PointsPlus. There isn't as much wiggle room to reduce the PointsPlus value here, but you do have some options: omit the cheese, use low PointsPlus tortillas, use only one tortilla.
That lovely side dish you see is Quick Gaspacho. It's a low PointsPlus recipe that adds a lot of filling veggies to this meal.
This recipe definitely delivered on it's promise to be a quick meal, but I found it a little lacking in flavor. Adding the pepperjack helped, but wasn't quite enough to make this worth making again.
Shortcuts:
None
Substitutions (may affect PointsPlus value):
Larger tortillas
Pepperjack instead of monterey jack
Omissions:
None
