looking for a lowfat mexican meal(including desert)...Anything...Thanks?

Question

Something YOU like to make

Answer 1

you can try a taco salad if you season the beef right you don't need to much so its like you are eating a salad with out dressing, i use lettuce, tomato, avocado, little bit of onion and taco seasoned beef with a favorite hot sauce. dessert.. fresh fruit, like mango, pineapple, watermelon, strawberries and with a little sweet chili sauce its really good. OOH TIP..instead of frying up a taco shell, just brush a corn tortilla with very little oil and bake it till crisp. this for me doesn't make me feel like a pig after i have eating it all up!!

Answer 2

* Soft chicken tacos: Buy a rotisserie chicken, some flour tortillas, some good-quality salsa, cilantro, limes, and the following are optional: green cabbage or iceberg lettuce to shred for crunchiness; radishes to slice thin; avocados to slice; lowfat cheese if you want. Shred the chicken, heat the tortillas, chop the cilantro, pile the chicken on the tortillas, and serve with: Slice of lime to squeeze over; salsa and veggies to add.

* Scallop ceviche: Buy a package of scallops; a whole bunch of limes and I do mean a lot of them; a white onion, some cilantro, a couple of fresh green serrano or jalapeno chiles, a few Roma tomatoes (or used canned diced tomatoes) and some lowfat tortilla chips (like, for example, Baked Tostitos or Guiltless Gourmet).
* Put the scallops in a bowl that won't react with lime juice (ie a glass or ceramic bowl, NOT METAL). If the scallops are big ones, cut them into pieces about the size of the tip of your thumb. Squeeze the limes into the bowl till you've got lime juice covering the scallops. Put this in the refrigerator to marinate for about 4 hours or overnight (The lime juice will "cook" the raw scallops and you will see that they turn opaque white and no longer have that translucent look; you can make it one night, eat it the next and the leftovers are fine on the evening after that). When you are ready to eat, chop the tomatoes and chiles and onion and cilantro; mix these into the scallops (you can drain off part of the lime juice if you want); add a little salt, just to taste. Serve with baked tortilla chips.

Dessert: Hmmm.... I don't think there's any such thing as lowfat flan....Well, you could serve fresh fruit (strawberries and mangoes, marinated in a little lemon juice and Splenda? maybe over some lowfat vanilla frozen yogurt?) Or you could serve that same lowfat vanilla frozen yogurt with a little bit of Kahlua drizzled on it, or a little teeny bit of (very fattening!) cajeta syrup; or you could serve mango sorbet, or coconut sorbet (again, that coconut sorbet would be good with a teeny bit of Kahlua drizzled over)... Or crepes with sauteed bananas and lowfat frozen yogurt and just an itsy bit of that fattening cajeta drizzled over.

Answer 3

for a quick and easy and low fat desert option, Take a white flour tortilla and cut it into strips about1/2 an inch wide, and then put it on a cooking sheet, then take some sugar and cinamon and mix some together in a small bowl, then sprinkle it on top of the strips until its all covered, spray it with a cooking spray and bake it at any temp. until its light brown, it'll be like a sweet chips or somethihng... hope this helps! good luck!

Answer 4

Carne Asada (marinated beef, bar-be-qued) with a salad and fresh fruit would be low in fat. Serve fat free refried beans, and stay far, far away from the rice - it may be low fat but it has tons of carbs for the punch.

Answer 5

I like mole. It taste's good and, if you make it with chicken and rice instead of enchiladas, you are actually eating semi-healthy. The chicken broth is good for you (becasue it is mixed into the mole) and the starch and protein help also. It is only as fattening as the chicken you buy.
