"I got this in an email flyer from Hungry Girl, this is definitely on the menu in the near future, hubby & I both love Mexican food and this sounds super yum!"

 

• Ready In: 50mins
• Ingredients: 11
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1⁄2 cup fat-free refried beans
• 1⁄4 cup fat-free cheddar cheese, grated
• 4 (21 g) wedges the laughing cow light original swiss cheese
• 1⁄2 cup fiber one all-bran cereal (original)
• 8 low-fat baked corn tortilla chips, crushed
• 1 teaspoon taco seasoning mix
• 2 dashes cayenne pepper (to taste)
• 4 skinless chicken breasts, cutlets pounded to 1/3-inch thickness
• 1⁄4 cup taco sauce
• nonfat sour cream
• salsa

directions

1. 1. Preheat oven to 180.C.
2. 2. Spray a large baking pan with nonstick spray and set aside.
3. 3. To make the filling, combine beans, shredded cheese, and cheese wedges in a bowl. Mix thoroughly and set aside.
4. 4. Using a blender or food processor, grind Fiber One cereal to a breadcrumb-like consistency. Remove blender from base, and add crushed chips, taco seasoning, and cayenne pepper. With the lid on, give it a good shake to mix. Transfer crumb mixture to a plate and set aside.
5. 5. Lay cutlets flat on a clean, dry surface. Spoon filling onto the centers of the cutlets, evenly dividing it among them. Carefully roll each cutlet up over the filling (which may ooze a little, but don't worry!) and secure with toothpicks.
6. 6. Cover each stuffed cutlet with 1 tablespoons taco sauce, using the back of the spoon or your fingers to coat. Carefully roll each cutlet in the crumb mixture, making sure to coat all sides -- use a spoon or your fingers, if needed. Gently transfer to the baking pan.
7. 7. Cover the pan with foil, and bake in the oven for 20 minutes.
8. 8. Carefully remove foil, and bake in the oven for another 15 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and outsides are crispy.
9. 9. Let cool slightly and, if you like, serve with sour cream and/or salsa. Enjoy!

Great recipe. Easy and tasty. I've shared with lots of people. I serve with Mexican rice, shredded lettuce and chopped tomato and green pepper. Easy to spice it up for those who want that.

This meal was easy to prepare and very tasty! <br/>I did not roll the chicken but rather layered them in a baking pan. <br/>I pounded the breasts and then did a layer of chicken, a layer of the refried bean mixed with cheese, and then another layer of chicken. Topped with taco sauce and then the chips. Baked for 20 min. covered and then removed cover and baked for another 15 min. Squeezed some fresh lime juice over the dish and served. Very flavorful and fun dish! Thank you for sharing.
