    Instructions

    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.
