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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
