Menu Plan Monday (I mean Wednesday!)

Wow! I am really late posting this. Sorry!

Monday: Chicken Tacos

  • Whole-wheat tortillas, ground chicken breast cooked with Mrs. Dash (salt-free) southwest chipotle seasoning, a little grated cheese, lots of tomatoes, green onions, jalapenos, and spinach leaves.
  • Approximately 325 calories
Tuesday: Tostadas

  • Whole wheat tortillas "fried" (lightly sprayed with olive oil and toasted in a frying pan to make it crisp), thin layer of fat-free refried beans, thin layer of grated cheese, lots of tomatoes, green onions, jalapenos, and a dollop of fat-free sour cream.
  • Approximately 325 calories
Wednesday: Enchilada Chicken

I'm not going to post the recipe for this because it was rather bland. I may try to tweak it in the future. If I'm successful, I will then post the recipe.

Thursday: Chicken Sandwich

  • Grilled and sliced chicken breasts (seasoned with garlic, pepper, and a touch of salt), spinach leaves, red onion slices, tomato slices, and cucumber slices on whole wheat bread - the sauce for the bread was a mixture of roasted red pepper hummus and fat-free plain yogurt
  • Approximately 350 calories
Friday: Lemon Pepper Salmon

  • I don't have the recipe because my husband took me out to dinner, but it was yummy!
Saturday: Asian Chicken Salad from Applebees (double date with friends)

  • I don't have the recipe for this, but it was a yummy salad, and I ordered my dressing on the side - and used less than half of it
Sunday: Baked Chicken Chimichangas
  • I don't have the recipe for this either, because my husband discovered the recipe somewhere online, made the dinner, and is keeping the recipe in his 'secret recipe' collection. I can basically describe it though: whole wheat tortillas, thin layer of fat-free refried beans, diced grilled chicken breasts, cumin, cinnamon, chili powder, salsa, and a dollop of fat-free sour cream (optional). To bake them and still have the crispy shell, you simply lightly spray your tortillas with extra-virgin olive oil, then roll the chimichangas up like normal, lay them in the baking dish, and bake them. They were so yummy! And I think we calculated them at about 350 calories each!
