Southwest Lasagna Rolls

I had been eyeballing this recipe for a while now.  Mark has been trying to stay really low carb lately, so the lasagna noodles really wasn't something that he wanted.  He is at the BMAA National meeting this week so I thought why not try these now.  Man oh man!  They are REALLY good.  And not too bad for you.  My recipe is a little different than the book's so I am not sure of the calorie count.  I did put the recipe in the WW recipe builder and it said that it is 6 points a roll.  Not too bad!  I have been bad today so I only had one, but I soooooo wanted another one.  I will just take one for lunch tomorrow!  Tomorrow night I am having some girl friends over and grilling a "real" burger.  I have not had a good beef burger in so long!  I am really craving one.  School today was interesting.  Callie and I went the old highway to school this morning instead of Rocky Gap. I would not have seen this if we had not travel this way this morning.  In front of Sonic in Mayflower one of the power poles was on fire!!!!!  Needless to say, the electricity went off around 7:50 am.  They dismissed us at 10:30 to go home.  I really was glad to get the day to do errands etc...however I hate that we will have to make the day up!  Oh well!!!  Here's the recipe!  Hope you enjoy!

Southwest Lasagna Rolls

1 can turkey chili
1 package of fat free cream cheese
1 cup of 2% Mexican cheese (shredded)
1/8 cup of green chili enchilada sauce (you can use more if you like)
1/2 package of taco seasoning
1/2 can of black beans
8 lasagna noodles (cooked and drained)
salsa

In a large bowl combine the first six ingredients.  Spread about 1/2 cup on each noodle; carefully roll up.  Place seam side down in a 13in.X 9in. baking dish coated with cooking spray.

Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes at 350 degrees.  Uncover; top with salsa.  I also added a little cheese to the top.  Bake 10 minutes longer or until heated through. 

(I would love to add photos of this to the blog, but I did not feel like messing with the camera tonight!  I did put a photo of pre-cooked and cooked on my facebook page)

I think this mixture would also be good wrapped in a tortilla and cooked pretty much the same way.  I did have some extra mixture left that I put in a ziploc freezer bag and put it in the freezer for later.   I hope you enjoy!!!!
