Stuff corn tortillas with a cheesy buffalo filling and bake until melted for an easy weeknight meal or game day snack that's ready in a half hour.”

Ingredients

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for greasing the pan

4 cups shredded rotisserie chicken

8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature

2 cups shredded Cheddar

1 cup hot sauce, plus more for serving, such as Frank's

1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced, white and green parts separated

1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

16 corn tortillas

2 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese

2 tablespoons blue cheese dressing

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.

Mix the chicken, cream cheese, 1 cup of the Cheddar, 1/3 cup of the hot sauce, white parts of the scallions and cumin in a large bowl until well combined. Stir together the butter, remaining 2/3 cup hot sauce and 3 tablespoons water in a medium bowl.

Microwave the tortillas in batches until warm, softened and foldable, about 30 seconds. Keep warm between damp paper towels.

Spoon a portion of the chicken mixture down the middle of each tortilla and roll up. Place them side by side, seam-side down, in the prepared pan. Pour the hot sauce mixture over the tortillas. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup Cheddar and the blue cheese and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, 15 to 17 minutes.

Drizzle the blue cheese dressing over the enchiladas and sprinkle with the scallion greens. Serve with more hot sauce.

ADAM RICHMAN'S SPAGHETTI PIE

This is from The TODAY Show, and begins, “Adam Richman shares a fun way to serve up spaghetti: Just turn it into pie!”

To view this online, click here.

Ingredients

12 ounces spaghetti, cooked, 1/2 cup cooking water reserved

1 small yellow onion, chopped finely

1 pound ground turkey or sirloin beef

1 cup tomato paste, divided

3 large eggs

1 cup grated parmesan cheese

1 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt to taste

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large skillet, sauté the onions until soft. Add ground turkey or beef, and 3/4 cup of the tomato paste.

Add half the reserved pasta water and stir well. Season with salt, to taste. Consistency should be like a thick Bolognese sauce. Add more cooking water as needed.

In a large bowl, mix together the cooked spaghetti, eggs, parmesan cheese, 1 cup of the mozzarella, and 1/4 cup of the tomato paste.

Grease a 9 or 10-inch pie pan with olive oil. Spread half the meat mixture over the bottom of the pan. Add the spaghetti mixture and press it down to level it. Top with the remaining meat mixture, then scatter the remaining mozzarella on top.

Bake the pie in the oven for 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit about 10 minutes. Use a sharp knife or pizza slicer to cut into wedges like a pie. Serve with a green salad.

RASPBERRY-LIME GRANITA

This was from an old Weight Watchers emailing list. The points may be outdated, but it's still worth trying.

The recipe begins, “Short for time? No problem. Simply let the frozen mixture sit for about 10 minutes, then use a fork to scrape the entire mixture until it's light and fluffy.”

POINTS® value: 1; Servings: 8; Preparation Time: 10 min; Cooking Time: 0 min; Level of Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup water

6 cups raspberries

2 Tbsp fresh lime juice

1 tsp lime zest

Instructions

Boil sugar and water in a small saucepan, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves. Let syrup cool.

Purée raspberries and syrup in a food processor. Add lime juice. Mixture should be just thick enough to stick to the back of a spoon. If too thick, add a little water.

Pour into a shallow plastic container or baking dish. Cover and freeze. Stir with a fork approximately every 30 minutes until frozen, about six hours.

Divide into eight dessert glasses and garnish with lime zest if desired.
