Grandma's recipesIf you long for fitness, find ideas for choosing substitutes to other foods that are not very recommendable, but without loosing taste, fun cooking and/or enjoyment when eating. An example could be: You long for a Big beef supreme burrito, but is always prepared with alot of fat, just imagine 520 calories in 1 piece and 24 grams of fat! (your total daily portion of it). Well, a great option to avoid that inconvenience would be to change that for 1 Tasty Chicken Burrito that gives instead 345 calories and 10 grams minus of fat. How to change your meals a little to make them less caloricJust to give you an idea of how you can change a recipe that would usually be a high calorie meal, I share with you this ethnic dish from a city called: Queretaro, right at the center of Mexico. Usually the recipe is called: Enchiladas Queretanas Ingredients: 3 chilis called: wide chili (you toast them, put them in a bag to "sweat" and retire then the seeds making a little incision in one side). 24 mexican tortillas which will serve for 8 persons (not like the ones you see in the US which are hard, I mean tortillas that are soft and made of maize). 600 ml of milk. 1 garlic. 1 egg. 2 chicken breasts boiled (shred the chicken). 2 boiled potatoes (cut in little squares). 2 boiled carrots (cut in little squares). 80 gr. of striped panela cheese. 35 gr. of chopped cilantro. 120 ml of oil for cooking.
Cook the chicken with a little bit of salt in a pan and when it is boiled, shred it. Cut in little squares the potatoes and the carrots. Cook the potatoes and the carrots in a pan with water. Cook the chili in milk at very low heat, remove and blend with garlic, egg and salt. Soak tortillas in the sauce, put the tortillas in a little bit of hot oil (keep them flexible). To serve: Fill the tortillas with shred chicken. Put the potatoes and carrots squares in the top, spread cheese and chopped cilantro. The little changes you can make to lower the calories of the recipe above: Limit the serving of the dish to a maximum of 3 tortillas. Cut to half the amount of potatoes. Use low calories panela cheese (or any other white cheese very low fat). Don't make the step where tortillas are put on the oil or, lower the amount of it. There you go! Easy to cook and enjoy. I recommend a little jump to Queretaro someday, is a nice colonial town not far away from Mexico city but with the feeling of being in a calm, cultural and very warm place.
