You possibly will not accept that you can lose weight while on a diet which includes cheese enchiladas with chili gravy but it is achievable. It is crucial to not eat cheese enchiladas with chili gravy or other high calorie enchiladas every day but in moderation.

For instance, I allow myself rich food one meal per week. I eat a healthy diet for 6 days of the week, say 1200 to 1800 calories per day, and then 1 day, I eat what I please – within moderation of course.

I have been eating like this for the last 6 weeks and it has aided me to lose 5 kilos. I have not accelerated my exercise regime or taken any supplements or diet drinks. I have simply been conscious of what I eat most days of the week and then eat whatever I like one day per week.

On my one free day per week, I usually like to eat southwestern food. I never thought I could lose 5 kilos while eating southwestern meals but am very happy to see it does work. If you would like to try some southwestern food, I propose you make cheese enchiladas with chili gravy which is one of my favourite southwestern recipes.

Cheese Enchiladas with Chili Gravy

12 corn tortillas
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 large onions, chopped
4 cups grated cheese

Chili Gravy
2 tablespoons shortening
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons chili powder (Gebhardt if possible)
3 cups warm water
Salt to taste

Lightly grease a 13 x 9-inch baking dish. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

To make Chili Gravy: Melt shortening in skillet. Stir in flour, make a light roux. Add chili powder, water and salt. Cook until thick. The gravy will vary according to what brand of chili powder you use.

To make enchiladas: Heat oil in skillet. Using kitchen tongs, dip each tortilla in hot oil until well softened (about 15 seconds). Hold tortilla up to drain. Using tongs dip tortillas in hot chili gravy. Place tortillas in pan, put a good pinch onions and cheese in the middle and roll the tortilla, placing the flop side down. Continue filling and rolling tortillas until pan is full. Pour more chili gravy on top of the enchiladas, sprinkle the top generously with more cheese and pop into a preheated oven to bake until cheese begins to bubble, about 10 minutes. Serve immediately.

You can alter the recipe to make it a little healthier or with not so many calories as this can help you to lose 5 kilos quickly. It was successful for me and could help you to lose weight as well.
