Mexican Lasagna



Recommended Posts

Ok, Im not sleeved yet. But love to cook and experiment. I found if you soak wonton wrappers for a few minutes they make a perfect sub for lasagna Pasta. I made this a couple nights ago:

1lb ground chicken or turkey

8 wonton wraps

3/4 cup ff cheese (I used jalapeno jack)

1 10oz can enchalada sauce

1/4 cup chopped onion

1 chopped jalapeno (cored)

1/4 cup chopped cilantro

1 small avacado

Plain greek yogurt

Preheat oben to 375.

Brown meat (drain if needed) add onions, jalapeno and cilantro and 1/2 of the enchalada sauce. Soak wontons in a bowl of Water while this cooks for about 10 mins.

Spray small baking dish w/ nonstick spray. (I used a small 6x6)

Carefully layer bottom with 4 wontons with slight overlap. Add a layer of meat mixture, sprinkle with cheese, repeat. Top off with remaining sauce and cheese

Bake in oven approx 20 min or until cheese is bubbly and beginning to brown.

Top with small amount chopped avacado and a dab of plain greek yogurt.

This makes 4 servings for nonsleeved folk.

With ground chicken:

278 cal, 28 Protein (this is calced with a nonsleeve serving)

Sorry no pic..it was a pretty dish and very good..but my son left nothing for the camera. : /

Nice recipe, sometime try a Greek lasagna. They use eggplant for the layers instead of Pasta.< /p>

ForMyFam, yes Ive tried that as well. It is good. This time I worked w/ the wontons looking to duplicate texture without crazy carbs and sacrificing flavor. I get alot of ideas reading these threads. : ) keep em coming.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
