Pastrami Panini

Ingredients

  • 1 medium tomato
  • 1 (14 oz) prepared pizza crust
  • ¼ cup spicy mayonnaise
  • ½ cup shredded Mexican-blend cheese
  • 8 (1 oz) slices Deli pastrami
  • 1 cup spring mix salad blend
  • Butter-flavor cooking spray

Steps

    1. Preheat 2-sided tabletop grill. Slice tomato thinly. Cut pizza crust in half; spread 2 tablespoons mayonnaise on each half. Layer on 1 crust: cheese, tomato slices, pastrami and spring mix. Top with other crust, mayonnaise side down.
    2. Coat grill with spray. Place sandwich on grill and press lid down firmly; cook 6 minutes, occasionally pressing lid. Slice into wedges and serve.

Tortilla Soup

Ingredients

  • 2 cups frozen pepper stir-fry (sliced onions and green, red, and yellow peppers)
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 ½ teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 (4.5 oz) can chopped green chilies
  • 1 (19 oz) can hearty tomato soup
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • ½ cup reduced-fat sour cream
  • 24 nacho cheese tortilla chips
  • ¼ cup shredded Mexican-style cheese blend

Steps

    1. Preheat large saucepan on high 1–2 minutes. Chop stir-fry into bite-size pieces and place in pan with garlic, chili powder, and chiiles; cook 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
    2. Stir in soup, broth, and sour cream. Reduce heat to medium and simmer 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
    3. Crush 3 tortilla chips into each serving bowl and add soup. Stir in 1 tablespoon cheese and crush 3 more tortilla chips on top. Serve.

Serving Suggestions

  • Complete your meal with extra tortilla chips, salsa, avocado slices, and flan for dessert.
  • To cook panini without a tabletop grill, place in a large, preheated skillet and cover with a smaller skillet. Press down firmly while cooking over medium heat, 1–2 minutes on each side.
