NO GUILT CHEESE ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Step 1:
• Soften the tortillas. Normally, tortillas are softened by lightly frying them in hot oil. Skinny enchiladas skips this step -- and all the fat!
• Pour the enchilada sauce in a skillet and heat. Dip each tortilla in the hot sauce, coating each side, for a few seconds. Shake off and place on microwavable platter, 3 or 4 at a time, making sure that they do not overlap. Microwave for 20-40 seconds, until soft. (Time will vary according to your microwave oven.) Set aside to cool.
• Step 2:
• In a bowl, mix 3/4 cup finely chopped onion (about 1/2 a large onion), ricotta, cottage cheese, green chiles (mild or hot, to taste), and salt and pepper to taste. Add half the shredded cheese (1/2 cup.) Mix with fork until ingredients are blended.
• Step 3:.
• Spray a rectangular casserole dish with non-stick spray.
• Place approximately 1/12th of the cheese mixture (about 1/4 cup) on a tortilla and loosely roll. Place seam side down in casserole dish. Repeat until all tortillas are filled. Spread remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the enchiladas.
• Step 4:.
• Bake for 15 minutes in an oven preheated to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. After 15 minutes, remove and evenly spread the remaining cheese and the black olives on top. Return to oven for 10 more minutes.
• Serve hot.

NO-CHEESE ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Cook zucchini on stove-top (spray some sort of Pam on pan) for about 5-10 minutes, or until soft.
• Add de-thawed (if frozen) corn and beans, as well as mexican spices. After cooking for about 2 minutes (until warm), set aside.
• On a plate, pour a couple large spoonfuls of enchilada sauce and spread it around plate. Put the tortilla on the plate and then turn over to get both sides lightly covered.
• Put the corn mixture in the middle of the sauced tortilla, roll and put in the pan. Continue the process of covering the tortillas and putting the mixture in them. Pour the rest of the sauce on top of the enchiladas.
• Cook in over at 350 degrees and check every ten minutes (usually about 20 minutes if using flour tortillas). Flour tortillas will still be soft, corn tortillas should get crispy.
