I borrowed a fabulous Biggest Loser cook book out of the library the other day, called "100 Snacks and Light Meals". It has so many great ideas, including this one! It was delicious in the wrap, but you could easily put the Chilli Con Carne itself with anything - rice, cous cous, toast, or on its own. Very satisfying & another one that the whole family will love - and comes in at 307 calories.
Ingredients (serves 4)
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 onion, chopped
200g premium lean beef mince
400g can chopped tomatoes
2 tablespoons salt-reduced tomato paste
1 cup diced Queensland blue pumpkin
420g can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 teaspoon chilli sauce
lettuce leaves
4 pieces lavash or Mountain Bread
Method
Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook the onion for 5 minutes, or until tender. Increase heat to high, add the mince to the pan and cook for 5 minutes, or until brown. Stir well to break up any lumps.
Stir in the tomatoes, tomato paste, pumpkin and 1/4 cup water. Simmer for 15 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender and the mince is cooked. Add the kidney beans and chilli sauce and season to taste with salt and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
Arrange a few lettuce leaves on top of each piece of bread. Top with the chilli con carne and roll up to form a wrap.
