At Kroger early this morning I came across a new Tortilla, Ole Mexican Foods Low Carb Tortilla Wraps. When I seen those I had an idea right away for my lunch, 3 Bean Buffalo Chili and Cheese Tortilla! I used the Low Carb Tortlla, 3 Bean Buffalo Chili, and Kraft 2% Shredded Sharp Cheddar. Delicious and Light Lunch!

Today’s Menu: Chicken Enchiladas
I had no idea on what to have for dinner tonight. I needed a few items from the store so it was off to Kroger and while there hopefully come up with something for dinner. They happened to be preparing free samples of different items throughout the store and that’s when I found what I was going to prepare for dinner, Chicken Enchiladas! They were preparing some frozen Enchiladas for sampling and I thought I would prepare some homemade ones.
I used a Kroger Deli Roasted Chicken. I reheated it before I used it by heating it in the oven at 325 degrees for about 20 minutes. After
reheating it I pulled all the meat from the bones and took all the skin off of it. To assemble preheat you oven to 350 degrees. I used Gourmet Multi Grain Low Carb Tortillas, only 60 calories and 4 carbs per tortilla! For my toppings, along with the Chicken, I used Mt. Olive Roasted Peppers, Del Monte Summer Crisp Sweet Corn, Bush’s Light Red Kidney Beans, Old El Paso Enchilada Sauce, and fresh grated Monterey Jack Cheese. Just put the amount of toppings and Chicken you want in the center of the tortilla and start rolling the tortilla, fairly tight. Then lay the tortillas, seam side down, in a medium size Pyrex baking dish. The last steps pour the Enchilada Sauce over the tortillas and then cover with your choice of Cheese, I used fresh grated Monterey Jack.
Then Bake at 350 degrees until Cheese is melted and tortillas are heated throughout. Let cool for about 5 minutes before eating. Everyone loved them!! The Monterey Jack is perfect for these, it melts just right. The Peppers, Beans, and Corn gives it great flavor. I’ll be preparing these quite often. For dessert later a Healthy Choice Vanilla Bean Greek Frozen Yogurt.

Another good and informative series of articles from http://www.diabeticlivingonline.com/
With this one I’ll be posting all their Bread category’s and winners.
Taste-Tested & Diabetes-Friendly
Do you avoid the bread aisle just to escape the confusion felt by so many carb-conscious consumers? It’s true: Bread is a tricky product to buy, especially for people with diabetes. Now you can return to the bread aisle with confidence — thanks to a list of products that recently received the Diabetic Living What to Eat™ seal of approval. Our staff and dietitians picked through the loaves to find those that met our nutritional guidelines. Next we brought in more than 100 people, including PWDs, to taste the brand-hidden products. The top breads, buns, tortillas, and English muffins were awarded the Diabetic Living What to Eat™ seal of approval.
Nutritional Guidelines
Every bread tested had to meet these health requirements per 2 slices, 1 tortilla, or 1 bun:
– 150 calories or less
– 3 g total fat or less
– 1.5 g saturated fat or less
– 0 g trans fat
– 30 g carb or less
– 300 mg sodium or less
– At least 2 g fiber
Tortilla Finalists
The two finalists in the tortilla category were well received by tasters, who rated them on their texture, appearance, and taste.
Archer Farms (Target brand) Whole Wheat Tortilla
Per tortilla: 130 cal., 3 g total fat (1.5 g sat. fat), 220 mg sodium, 23 g carb., 3 g fiber
La Tortilla Factory Smart & Delicious Low Carb, High Fiber Large Whole Wheat Tortilla
Per tortilla: 80 cal., 3 g total fat (0 g sat. fat), 300 mg sodium, 18 g carb., 12 g fiber
Tortilla Winner
And the winner of the tortilla category is:
Mission Carb Balance Plus! Small/Fajita Whole Wheat Tortilla
Per tortilla: 80 cal., 2 g total fat (1 g sat. fat), 220 mg sodium, 12 g carb., 8 g fiber
Taster’s comment: “Best texture. It’s thick but still soft. Awesome flavor!”
Why it won: This tortilla had a nice texture, and tasters felt it would hold up well to being stuffed with fillings without tearing. We like that it has only 12 grams of carb. and 8 grams of fiber per tortilla!
