From our skinny table to yours ...

We love Mexican food! And anytime we can have all our favorite Mexican flavors in a skinny supper, it's even better! Tonight we are making our Mexican Chicken Stuffed Poblanos. But these are anything but your typical stuffed peppers!

We start by roasting up spicy poblano peppers which we use in place of a fried tortilla to save a couple hundred calories! One fried tortilla is typically upwards of 250 calories vs. a poblano pepper that comes in at just 17 calories. We leave the seeds in for an extra spicy kick of flavor but feel free to remove them for a milder version. We stuff these with shredded chicken and sautéed peppers, onions, garlic, corn, tomato & cilantro. We mix in taco sauce (only 5-10 calories per tbsp depending on the brand!) and top these with a touch of part skim cheddar cheese.

These are so good and definitely make our list of favorite skinny substitutions! Hope you join us tonight by swapping out the calorie packed tortilla for a skinny stuffed pepper. Enjoy this one :)
