Cheese Chicken Enchiladas

3 large chicken breasts, cooked
1 bag Mexican shredded cheese
1 small onion, chopped
1 large can Red enchilada sauce
24 corn tortillas

Preheat oven to 350. Shred chicken into a bowl, add 1 cup shredded cheese and onion. Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray. Warm corn tortillas in the microwave (put a damp paper towel between each one and stick the stack in the microwave for 30-60 seconds ... it softens them the same way frying would). Assemble your enchiladas by dipping one tortilla into the sauce then filling with the chicken mixture, roll and place to the end of the pan. Continue until all the tortillas have been used. Cover with remaining sauce and cheese. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes.

Cilantro Chicken

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 c crushed tortilla chips
1 (16oz) jar salsa
2 Tbsp lime juice
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 tsp honey
2 Tbsp cilantro
1/3 cup cheese

In a shallow bowl combine lime juice, oil and honey. Dip chicken in it, then coat the chicken with tortilla chips. Bake in ungreased, uncovered pan at 350 for 25 minutes or until done. Combine salsa and cilantro. Pour over chicken and sprinkle with cheese. Bake 7 minutes to melt the cheese.

Crock Pot Lasagna

1lb lean ground beef
1 jar spaghetti sauce
2 cups cottage cheese
2 cups mozarrella cheese
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
6 regular lasagna noodles (not cooked)
1/4 cup water

In frying pan, brown ground beef and drain fat. Add water and spaghetti sauce, leaving a little to cover the bottom of the crock pot. Stir until well blended. Line crock pot with very thin layer of sauce, then top with 2-3 lasagna noodles that are broken and shaped to crock pot. Cover noodles with half the cottage cheese, half the mozarrella cheese, and half the parmesan cheese, then top cheeses with half the meat mixture. Repeat layers with the rest of the ingredients. Cook on low 4 hours.

Skinny Tortilla Soup

1 can (16oz) fat-free refried beans
1 can (15oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (14 1/2oz) reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 cups frozen corn
3/4 cup chunky salsa
3/4 cup cubed cooked chicken breast
1/2 cup water
2 cups (8 ounces) reduced-fat shreded cheddar cheese (divided)
28 baked tortilla chips, divided

In a large saucepan, combine the first seven ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for ten minutes. Add 1 cup cheese; cook and stir over low heat until melted. Crumble half of the tortilla chips into soup bowls. Ladle soup over chips. Top each serving with two crumbled chips; sprinkle with remaining cheese.

(If you want to make this in the slow cooker, it only takes about 1 1/2 hours to heat through on high. Add the cheese at the end!).
