Sloppy Joes Mex style

1 Pound Lean Ground Beef
1 tsp Taco Seasoning
1/4 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Pepper
1 1/2 Cups prepared black bean and corn salsa
1/4 Cup fat free or lowfat sour cream
1 Tbs Lime Juice
Whole Wheat tortillas
2 Tbs coarsly chopped fresh cilantro
1 Scallion, Chopped

Directions:
1-Heat skillet and combine hamburger, taco seasoning, salt, pepper. Cook until meat no longer pink. Stir in salsa and cook until heated through, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
2-Combine lime juice and sour cream in a small bowl.
3-Place 1 warm tortilla on a plate and spoon 3/4 cup of the meat mixture onto the tortilla. Top with about 1 1/2 tablespoons of sour cream mixture. Sprinkle with the cilantro and scallion.

Note: You could use ground skinless chicken breast instead of hamburger and cook it in a little olive oil with the taco seasoning, salt and pepper. Also, I used more taco seasoning than recipe calls for and I added some chopped spinach leaves on top with the cilantro to make them more taco like. I liked having something more than just meat in the tortilla. Hope you like them as much as we did!

Frozen Yogurt Dessert

1 Ready Made reduced-fat graham cracker crust
1 1/2 C fresh or frozen strawberries, sliced (sweeten with Splenda--optional)
3 C Vanilla fat free frozen yogurt, slightly softened

Let frozen yogurt thaw slightly so the strawberries can be mixed in. Spread into reduced-fat graham cracker crust. Freeze until set then serve.

Note: Any flavor of non-fat frozen yogurt or fruit may be used. Enjoy! Serves 8. 4 pts each.
