Add cumin, paprika, oregano, chilli powder and stock powder and cook 1 minute. Add tomatoes (or jar of salsa) and re-fried beans and combine well. When boiled simmer for 1 minute then serve.
Tortilla Baskets
Coat a dessert bowl with cooking spray; press a large tortilla into bowl, coat with cooking spray and bake in oven 350 degrees F. for about 10 minutes. Leave to cool in bowl.
For decoration have some mashed avocado and maybe some sliced fresh chilli and shredded lettuce to sit the basket on.
**Honestly Golly, I never thought of that. Spending time with the weight converter was enough for me lol!!! I think I will start using my American cookbooks so if I find one it will be easier :))) Hil

Okay, I have to give credit to Cooking Light magazine, but in case you don't get the magazine and aren't an AOL-ie (I think they can access the CL website like subscribers)...
Oh Hilary~
That sounds SO GOOD!!! I will absolutely
I hope to get it on our website at some point soon :)
I MUST give you this recipe - - it is an American Heart Association Recipe and it is DeLish!!
Sounds great Tracy. Just one thing. I find that when making "lo fat" cakes, as there are hardly any fats used there is nothing to protect the gluten, so every time you move the flour you bruise it. I suggest not whisking, but gently folding the wet ingredients into the dry for this reason. If too heavy handed cakes can become tough.
Not sure of the science here :) Hilary
