SOUTH OF THE BORDER CHOPPED SALAD

Steps:

• To make the salad, preheat an oven to 350 degrees F.
• Brush each tortilla with vegetable oil on both sides, then sprinkle with salt. Stack tortillas and cut into thin strips. Scatter strips on a baking sheet and bake until golden brown and crisp, about 15 minutes. Let cool.
• Meanwhile, to make the vinaigrette, stir together the lime juice and spice mix; pour in olive oil and whisk to blend. Stir in green onions.
• To assemble the salad, put lettuce in a large bowl. Top with cooled tortilla strips, beans, cherry tomatoes, avocado, cheese, and cilantro. Add dressing and toss well.
• To make the spice mix, stir together salt and spices in a sealable plastic bag. Store up to 1 month.

WW 1 POINT - BAKED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Spray a 1 quart shallow baking dish with nonstick spray.
• Halve the tomatoes then squeeze out and discard seeds.
• Place tomatoes cut side up in dish.
• Combine the bread crumbs and parmesan cheese in small bowl.
• Sprinkle over tomatoes and bake until soft, about 35-45 minutes.
• 1 point per serving (1 tomato half).

WW 1 POINT - AREPAS (ALTERNATIVE TO TORTILLAS) OAMC

Steps:

• Pour water into mixing bowl, stir in arepa flour and salt. Continue stirring until a soft dough forms. Knead gently until the dough feels smooth. Tear off ping-pong-ball-size pieces of the dough and shape them into 3 inch patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
• Heat 1/2 tsp oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 6 arepas and cook, turning once, until golden and crusty on the outside, 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a heated plate and keep warm; repeat with remaining oil and arepas. Serve at once. Store leftovers in a zip-lock freezer bag in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for 1 month.
• 1 point per serving (1 arepa).
• Variations: Try making arepas with warmed fat-free milk instead of water, and when kneading the dough, knead in 1/2 cup shredded fat-free mozzarella cheese. Add 1/2 point.
• To reheat leftovers, wrap them in foil, place on baking sheet and heat at 350F until hot (about 10 minutes). Remove the foil and bake 5 more minutes to crisp. For best results, thaw in refrigerator overnight.
