Chicken & Black Bean Taco Soup

I hope you all don't get tired of me posting Taco Soup recipes.  I think this is my third version, but I do love Taco Soup.

This is a twist on the original Chicken Taco Soup Recipe I posted a while back.  I hope you enjoy it as much as my family did.

Ingredients:

• 2 large cans chicken breast meat, drained
• 2 cans Rotel
• 1 can sweet whole kernel corn, do not drain
• 1 can cream corn
• 1 large can black beans, rinsed and drained
• 2 cans Spicy V8 (5.5 oz.)
• 1 envelope ranch dressing mix
• 1 envelope taco seasoning mix

Directions:

• Combine all the above ingredients and mix well.  Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook for at least 20 minutes.  

This is a super simple and quick recipe and it is really yummy.  Serve with cornbread or with tortilla chips and shredded cheese.

Tuna Melt

You'll probably want to melt your cheese
a little better than I did.

If you're not a fan of tuna fish, you should probably stop reading now.

I love tuna.  In the past I would have made tuna salad and added a lot of mayo, eggs, and olives. You could probably still do it that way and par it down a bit to make it lighter/healthier.  I chose to do it this way to keep the points as low as possible. I guess you could call this my version of a tuna melt.



What you will need:

• 1 Slice Toasted Whole Grain White Wonder Bread (2 points)
• 1 Single Serve Pouch Kroger Brand Chunk White Albacore Tuna in Water (1 point)
• Season with Dean Jacob's Habanero Seasoning (0 points)
• 1 Slice Borden's 2% American Cheese (1 point)
• Approximately 4 Trappey's Sweet & Hot Jalapeno Pepper Slices (0 points) 
• Spicy Hot V8 Juice (1 point)

Directions:

• Toast the bread and lay on the plate.
• Place the tuna in a bowl and season to taste.
• Spread tuna on to toast.
• Place Jalapenos over tuna.
• You can place in the microwave to melt cheese.
• Serve with V8 Juice.

This meal came to a total of 5 points.  It was quick and satisfying.
