Hey Everyone! I just posted a blog about this, but here are the recipes for my version of Mexican Pizza and Spanish Rice! These two recipes are quick, healthy and BUDGET friendly! If you would like, a picture of the finished product is on the blog. Tactfullysouthern.blogspot.com

Mexican "Pizza"

1 Low Carb Tortilla (I like Mission Low Carb Taco Sized)
1 Wedge Laughing Cow Queso Fresco & Chipotle
1/2 Bag of Southwest Inspired Corn and Black Bean (I seasoned extra with just a little Mrs. Dash Chipotle Blend)
2 Tbsp Sour Cream (Light)

Toast tortilla in small pan then spread cheese on tortilla. Next, top with black bean mix and sour cream! Enjoy!

Spanish Rice
Serves: 4

2 Bags Boil in Bag Basmati Rice (or 2 cups cooked rice)
1 (14 oz) Can Diced Tomatoes with Green Chilies
1 cup Onion
1 tsp Cumin
1 tsp Chili Powder
1/2 cup Diced Green Chilies
1/2 cup tomato juice
Salt and Pepper to taste

Saute onion and diced green chilies in a pan with cooking spray. Once cooked, add in diced tomatoes, tomato juice, spices, and rice.Let simmer until all liquid is absorbed.

    Lynne (Love the name - It is my middle name! I always say Lynn with an E when people ask) - I found it at Target. It is Archer Farms Brand and was only $1.66 for the bag. It was nicely seasoned straight out of the bag!
