Chicken & Tortilla Soup

From Fine Cooking Magazine

Be sure the broth is very hot so that it heats up the ingredients in the bowl and offers a strong contrast with the cool, smooth chunks of avocado. The spice level is very low--just a slight chile warmth--so if you prefer more of a kick, add more chili powder or use a hotter powder. This recipe is easily doubled.

Quick Shrimp Enchilada Bake

From EatingWell

Shrimp enchiladas offer a taste of coastal Mexican cuisine but some versions contain so much cheese, butter and sour cream that they can pack a whopping 50 grams of fat per serving. Our version has vibrant flavor and only half the calories and 6 grams of fat per serving, plus we use precooked peeled shrimp so you can get the dish on your table fast enough for a weeknight supper. The addition of refried beans helps makes these enchiladas an excellent source of fiber as well.
