    I made me a couple "Mexican pizzas," while the rest of the fan had pizza hut. I know they're not really Mexican pizzas, but I don't know what else to call them. Low carb tortillas with a few tablespoons of salsa spread around (like pizza sauce), then some low fat mozzarella sprinkled over it, and some turkey pepperoni. Its SOOOO yummy! And only about 175 calories per "pizza." And 2 is plenty to fill me up! Its GREAT when you really want some pizza but not the calories from pizza hut, or the instant weight gain from eating bread!

    I make these sometimes too and really enjoy them!

    I have had a partial bag of tortilla chips hanging around, so I built a meal around it:
    1 lb ground meat
    three celery stalks
    1 small onion
    a few garlic cloves

    (cook those together, then add)

    1 pound dried beans, cooked (or two cans of beans)
    1 can Italian diced tomatoes
    1/2 bag frozen corn (or one can)
    chili powder, cumin, cinnamon, coriander, oregano, cayenne, and/or other favorite spices

    (simmer together until it bubbles)

    In a 13 x 9 pan, spread 1/3 of the mixture and top with:

    2 oz tortilla chips (or tortillas cut into strips)

    Repeat layers again, then spread remaining 1/3 of mixture on top. Top with:

    2 oz shredded cheese

    Bake at 350 for 15 minutes.

    It's not a usual part of my repertoire, but I hate wasting food.

    Great idea! I also hate to waste food and can build a meal around the strangest or random ingredients. I will be copying you as I also have leftover tortilla chips. Lol

    Glad to help! I hate letting things go stale.

    I cooked spaghetti for the first time in a long time. It hit the spot.

    Tonight I made mini pot pies in cupcake tins. It's pretty easy to make you use frozen veggies, cream of mushroom, and some form of cooked chicken. I used meatless cause I'm a vegetarian. You bake them in cupcake tins put biscuit dough in and full them to the top.
