Beef Chimichangas

1 lb lean ground beef
8 whole wheat tortillas
1 packet taco seasoning
1 can ff refried beans
1 can ff or low fat cream of chicken soup
1 cup milk
Shredded cheese

Cook ground beef, drain and mix the next 3 ingredients in. Spoon in to tortillas roll and lay in a pan. Mix milk and soup and pour over the top. Sprinkle with cheese. bake at 350 for a haif hour. You may need 1 more can of ff soup to make it a little thicker.

I don't really think the soup is fs friendly. I eat it with out the the soup and just sprinkle cheese on mine. It is so good with the sauce on top so I would be interested to know if we can have that. It is also good with a little ff sour cream on tip.

Those sound more like enchiladas than chimichangas. If it's FF soup I'm sure it's an OK dinner for Phase 4 occasionally.
I knew I should have clicked on that though because it looks tasty regardless of the title!

Really? I make my enchilada with tomato sauce.

Chimichangas are deep fried burritos...I know them far too well, as do my hardened ateries! :lol:

There are many forms of an enchilada. Some do have cream sauces. Maybe it's from growing up in CA, butI have far too much passion for Mexican food it's almost disturbing.

Yeah these chimichangas are not fried. But that is what the recipe is called. Who knows. All I know is that they taste good.

Isn't that basically Phase 3 since don't *have* to have pasta or any of the other additions. It's just like how I don't believe there's a 1.5 it's just Phase 2 and one is choosing not to incorporate some of the new additions. :lol:

Yeah I guess your right Amanda. I just like to call it that I guess. I'm basically doing everything that you would have on p2, but just adding in the dessert. I haven't added in the bread or pasta yet. So that is just what I was calling it. But it doesn't really matter because I am still staying within fs guidelines. Right?

Aren't wheat tortillas a no-no on P2? I thought they only came in at P3 - I just bought myself some last week and they sure are a nice change up!

Absolutely. I've just always found the .5 term funny.

Melissa - I think whole wheat tortillas are allowed on Phase 3 as a substitution for a serving of bread. It's defintely not OK for Phase II though. I just bought some this week but haven't tried them yet. What brand did you buy?

NO you can't have them for phase 2. Phase 3 friendly only!!
