Buffalo Chicken Pizza Rolls
These Buffalo chicken pizza rolls are filling little rolls—the perfect bite-sized appetizer or snack. The Buffalo sauce, chicken, and cheese ratio is ideal; it's not too saucy or overly spicy. The ranch butter brushed overtop adds another layer of herbaceous flavor that's a new spin on a classic combo.
Healthier Chicken Enchiladas
I've always liked this healthy chicken enchilada recipe because it is quick and easy. I'm always looking for ways to cut out excess fat so I use reduced-fat cheese and sour cream. I also like to add fiber to make the meal a little healthier for my family so I add black beans and some bell peppers. This also adds color! To make it super-healthy I use whole wheat flour tortillas. And it still tastes just as delicious!
