It's surprising what a quick substitution or two will do. By simply switching from full-fat products to reduced- or low-fat, you can often save lots of fat and calories while keeping flavor and texture. In this recipe, chopped green chilies add the right amount of zip. -Leigh Thomas, Hahira, Georgia

HEATHER'S MEXICAN ROLL-UPS



Heather's Mexican Roll-Ups image

I found this on The Biggest Loser website. I wanted to put it in my cookbooks and thought I would share. Information about this recipe from the website. "Heather Hansen relies on this easy rollup to help toward her weight loss goal. To keep from getting bored with it, she alternates between making it with Jennie-O Turkey Store Extra Lean Ground Turkey and extra-lean beef. Though she generally eats the turkey naked, she prefers to spike it with 1 1/2 teaspoons of Mrs. Dash Southwest Chipotle Seasoning or other salt-free Mexican seasoning, which she mixes into the meat before cooking. Either way, it's a great option for a quick dinner."

Time 30m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 lean ground turkey or 1/4 extra lean ground beef
1 (7 1/2 inch) whole wheat tortillas or 1 (7 1/2 inch) low-carb tortillas
1 tablespoon nonfat sour cream
1/3 cup romaine lettuce leaf, shredded
1/3 cup chopped tomato, remove seeds
2 tablespoons salsa

Steps:

  • Place a small nonstick skillet on medium-high heat until it is hot enough for a spritz of water to sizzle on it.
  • With an oven mitt, briefly remove the pan from the heat to mist lightly with oil spray. Add the turkey or beef to the pan.
  • Cook, breaking into chunks with a wooden spoon for 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned and no longer pink.
  • Transfer the turkey or beef to a plate. Cover to keep warm.
  • Return the pan to medium heat.
  • Place the tortilla in the pan. Cook for about 30 seconds per side, or until just warmed.
  • Transfer to a serving plate.
  • Starting at one side, spread the sour cream evenly over two-thirds of the tortilla.
  • Scatter the reserved turkey or beef over the sour cream. Top with the lettuce, tomato, and salsa.
  • Starting at the filled end, roll the tortilla tightly into a tube, being careful not to tear it. Serve immediately.

THE BEST MEXICAN TORTILLA ROLL UPS



The Best Mexican Tortilla Roll Ups image

I am requested to make these all the time. They are easy, and people LOVE them. I developed this over the years to suit our tastes. There are recipes close to this one, but I like mine best! The amount of tortillas you need will depend on how thick you spread the mixture. I like them thick. Zaar wont let me list the chilies, olives and pimentos correctly. But I buy the small can of each. They are already chopped small, so they mix in well with the cream cheese.

Provided by Contributor

Categories     Appetizer     Main Course     Snack

Time 6h20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 ounces cream cheese (softened to room temperature)
16 ounces sour cream
2 Tablespoons taco seasoning mix
1 can refried beans
10-12 large flour tortillas
1 cup peas ((I used frozen peas that had been thawed))
½ cup carrots (diced small)
½ cup red bell peppers (diced (green peppers look pretty too))
½ cup green onions (chopped)
1 can sweet corn ((I used Green Giant Niblets))
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • In a mixer, blend cream cheese and sour cream until smooth. Mix in taco seasoning.
  • In the center of each tortilla, put a small stripe of refried beans. On the rest of the tortilla spread the sauce making sure to get the edges. You want a decent amount to make sure all your toppings will stick.
  • Sprinkle with toppings and roll up as tight as you can.
  • Tuck in the ends and wrap in Saran wrap.
  • *Be sure not to over-stuff or they won't roll up.
  • Refrigerate overnight or for about 6 hours
  • Slice before serving and serve with your favorite salsa (we love Chili's salsa)!

Tips:

  • Use fresh tortillas: Fresh tortillas are more pliable and less likely to crack when rolling. If you can't find fresh tortillas, you can warm store-bought tortillas in a damp paper towel in the microwave for a few seconds to make them more pliable.
  • Don't overfill the tortillas: If you overfill the tortillas, they will be difficult to roll and may come apart. Aim for about 1/4 cup of filling per tortilla.
  • Roll the tortillas tightly: Roll the tortillas tightly so that the filling doesn't fall out. You can use a toothpick or skewer to secure the tortillas if needed.
  • Cook the roll-ups until they are golden brown: Cook the roll-ups in a hot skillet or on a grill until they are golden brown and crispy. This will help to seal in the flavors and prevent the tortillas from becoming soggy.
  • Serve the roll-ups with your favorite toppings: Serve the roll-ups with your favorite toppings, such as salsa, guacamole, sour cream, or cheese. You can also add a side of rice and beans.

Conclusion:

Mexican roll-ups are a delicious and versatile dish that can be made with a variety of fillings. They are perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal or for a party appetizer. With a little creativity, you can create your own unique Mexican roll-ups that everyone will love.
