Tex-Mex Fiesta Casserole

"So far this is my favorite recipe that I use. It is from Joanna Lund. I make this at least once a month. It has a great taste and the portion size is plentiful. Per serving is 260 calories. The diabetic exchanges per serving are: 2 1/2 protein, 2 vegetable, 1 starch. You won't be sorry for trying it. My 3 year old son eats it too. You won't miss the fat/calories."

  2. This recipe is tops for delivering a lot of flavor while being a healthy dish that offers a very forgiving attitude. I replaced the meat with t.v.p. and used all tomato sauce instead of adding ketchup. Lastly I used fat free cheese. It's very easy to make and a real treat. Thank you very much for posting this one Goochie. Made for PAC, Spring '08
