they do sound awesome! I'm not the biggest fan of chipotle flavor, but another idea for that: use greek yogurt instead of mayo? Not sure if that would taste weird or not.
Maybe split the difference and go with sour cream? Better flavor for chipotle than yogurt and less fat/calorie than mayo? I love greek yogurt but I have a hard time using it in Mexican/Spanish type recipes the flavor just isn't quite right. Also, just an FYI on the chilies in adobo sauce if you haven't used those before - they are REALLY spicy; 1 T per 3 T mayo would probably blow my head off.
I was actually wondering how/why they had mayo in a 'skinny taste' recipe, and I am NOT a fan of the low-fat/no-fat mayonnaise option; I would rather eat my eyelashes.
I Am, however, a fan of sour cream. I agree that the Greek yogurt might be a bit off in a Mexican dish, but what about cutting the sour cream with a little plain regular yogurt? Get the yumminess of the sour cream, and the tang of yogurt? Hmmm, I think it might work!
Thanks, Sarah, for the heads up on the chilies. I don't mind spicy, but I can't really do the head-blowing thing anymore.
This is a world of epic struggles, of victories won, of painful defeats, and the realization that if I'm going to enjoy the last half of my life, I prob'ly oughtta start taking care of myself.
So join me on this quest for better health - both mental and physical, I might add - and feel free to chime in with thoughts, suggestions, struggles of your own, or a healthy tip or recipe you've stumbled across.
I am a middle-aged woman, who's recently grasped the fact that her longevity genes are stronger than she had supposed, forcing her to face the fact that she'd better start taking care of herself. Who knew I'd live this long??
