tex-mex chili dip

March 23rd, 2008

You possibly will not think it is possible to lose weight while on a diet which includes tex-mex chili dip but it can happen. It is crucial to not eat tex-mex chili dip or other high calorie soups & chili every day but in moderation.

For instance, I allow myself these kinds of food once per week. I eat a reduced calorie diet for 6 days of the week, say 1400 to 2000 calories a day, and then one day, I eat what I please – without going crazy of course.

I have been eating like this for the last month and it has aided me to lose 5 kilos. I have not changed my exercise habits or taken any pills or diet aids. I have only been careful of what I eat on most days and then eat whatever I want one day a week.

On my one free day per week, I like to eat tex-mex food. I never thought I could lose 5 kilos while eating tex-mex meals but am very pleased to see it does work. If you would like to try some tex-mex food, I advise you make tex-mex chili dip which is one of my most adored tex-mex recipes.

Tex-Mex Chili Dip

1 pound lean ground pork or beef
1 (16 ounce) jar chunky salsa (2 cups, mild, medium
    or hot, depending upon preference)
1 cup water, divided
1 (1.61 ounce) package brown gravy mix (no fat or regular)
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 to 2 teaspoons finely chopped jalapeno pepper, optional
Tortilla chips or crackers

In 2-quart saucepan or large skillet; cook and stir ground pork until meat is no longer pink, then drain. Add salsa and 1/2 cup water and heat to boiling.

Meanwhile, in small bowl, blend gravy mix with 1/2 cup cool water; stir in cumin. Pour gravy mixture into boiling mixture. Heat and stir until thickened. Stir in beans and jalapeno, reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes.

Transfer hot dip to heated server. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves, if desired. Serve with tortilla chips. Makes 10 to 12 servings.

Chili Dip Quesadillas

Spread dip on flour tortillas; sprinkle with shredded cheese. Place another flour tortilla over each. Cook on hot griddle for 2 to 3 minutes per side. Cut into quarters.

You can alter the recipe to make it a little bit healthier or with less calories as this can help you to lose 5 kilos quickly. It was successful for me and could aid you to lose weight as well.
