Ingredients

5 spray low-fat cooking spray
1 small onion(s), chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon, ground
1/8 teaspoon pepper, ground
1 small carrot(s), coarsely chopped

Directions
In a medium pot, warm cooking spray over moderate heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 7 minutes. Add garlic, stirring until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add chili powder, cumin, cinnamon and pepper, stirring to combine.

Add carrot, celery, beans and tomatoes; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 1 hour; stir in salt.

Heat tortillas in microwave according to package directions or in nonstick frying pan over moderate heat for about 1 minute, until brown spots begin to form, turning once.

Spread chili down the center of each tortilla, leaving 1/2-inch border at each end. Top each with 1 Tbsp each of creme fraiche and grated cheese. Tuck in ends of tortilla, roll and enjoy.

admin — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 10:02:52 +0000

This sandwich is sure to conjure up fond memories of summer, no matter which season you’re in. In warmer months, head outside and grill the pork instead of roasting it.
Ingredients

1 pound lean pork tenderloin
3 1/3 Tbsp barbecue sauce, divided
3 Tbsp reduced-calorie mayonnaise
1 Tbsp water
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
1/8 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
3 Tbsp scallion(s), sliced
4 medium mixed-grain hamburger roll(s)
2 cup packaged coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)

Directions
Preheat oven to 450F. Line a shallow roasting pan with nonstick foil (for easy clean-up). Or coat pan with cooking spray.

Place pork in pan and brush with 2 Tbsps of barbecue sauce. Roast until an instant read thermometer inserted in center of pork registers 160ÂºF for medium, about 25 minutes. Transfer pork to a cutting board; cover loosely with foil and let stand 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, whisk mayonnaise, water, vinegar and pepper together in a medium bowl until smooth. Add coleslaw mix and scallions; toss to mix and coat.

Slice pork into 20 slices. For each sandwich, place 5 slices of pork on the bottom half of each roll and drizzle with 1 teaspoon of barbecue sauce; top with 1/2 cup of coleslaw and cover with top half of roll. Yields 1 sandwich per serving.
