It's surprising what a quick substitution or two will do. By simply switching from full-fat products to reduced- or low-fat, you can often save lots of fat and calories while keeping flavor and texture. This is certainly the case with Leigh Thomas' Makeover Mexican Roll-Ups. The cook from Hahira, Georgia uses fat-free cream cheese and reduced-fat sour cream; this cuts nearly 70% of the fat and a whopping 75% of the cholesterol. Ingredients:
1 package (8 ounces) fat-free cream cheese |
1 cup (8 ounces) fat-free sour cream |
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese |
1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chilies, drained |
4 green onions, chopped |
1 can (4-1/4 ounces) chopped ripe olives, drained |
1 teaspoon garlic powder |
5 flour tortillas (10 inches), room temperature |
salsa, optional |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. Spread over tortillas. Roll up tightly and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until firm.
2. Unwrap and cut into scant 1-in. slices. Serve with salsa if desired. Yield: about 4 dozen.
