In addition to eating well and really being aware of what I’ve been eating, I’ve noticed that this summer I’ve also been on a huge Mexican (or Tex-Mex) kick. I crave it almost daily, and even on days when I don’t feel like cooking much; I’ll make something simple like pureed black beans with a little low-fat mexican cheese baked in the oven, but I digress.
This dish to your right is one of the many I’ve whipped up this summer- I made a mixture of cream cheese- herbs and spices- black beans- corn- roasted chicken breast- low-fat shredded cheese and stuffed these fresh pablanos. I then baked them in the oven (covered) for a half hour or so, until all the cheese in melted and the peppers had a chance to cook a little. As you can see here- I served the pablanos on a bed of arugula, a little avocado, tomatoes, quark and chipotle chili sauce. DELICIOUS!
So what’s your favorite summer eats?
