Tijuana Torta Healthy Recipe



Makes: 4 servings
Active Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
A Mexican-style torta is just like a burrito, except the “wrapper” is a hollowed-out roll instead of a tortilla. Here it's filled with mashed spiced black beans and a quick guacamole. Take this vegetarian version to another level (and add calcium) by melting Monterey Jack cheese onto the bean side of the sandwich. Serve with: Grilled corn on the cob or Spanish rice.

Tijuana Torta Healthy Recipe INGREDIENTS:

  1. 1 15-ounce can black beans, or pinto beans, rinsed (see Note)
  2. 3 tablespoons prepared salsa
  3. 1 tablespoon chopped pickled jalapeño
  4. 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  5. 1 ripe avocado, pitted
  6. 2 tablespoons minced onion
  7. 1 tablespoon lime juice
  8. 1 16- to 20-inch-long baguette, preferably whole-grain
  9. 1 1/3 cups shredded green cabbage

Tijuana Torta Healthy Recipe PREPARATION:

Mash beans, salsa, jalapeño and cumin in a small bowl. Mash avocado, onion and lime juice in another small bowl.
Cut baguette into 4 equal lengths. Split each piece in half horizontally. Pull out most of the soft bread from the center so you’re left with mostly crust. Divide the bean paste, avocado mixture and cabbage evenly among the sandwiches. Cut each in half and serve.

Southwestern Cheese Panini Healthy Sandwich Recipe


Makes: 4 servings
Active Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Lots of colorful vegetables and salsa make this cheesy panini prettier than any grilled cheese you've ever seen. The small amount of Cheddar cheese in this sandwich goes a long way because it is shredded and sharp. Serve with a mixed salad and you've got a delightful lunch or light supper. If you happen to have a panini maker, go ahead and skip Step 3 and grill the panini according to the manufacturer's directions.





INGREDIENTS Southwestern Cheese Panini Healthy Sandwich:


  1. 4 ounces shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
  2. 1 cup shredded zucchini
  3. 1/2 cup shredded carrot
  4. 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
  5. 1/4 cup prepared salsa
  6. 1 tablespoon chopped pickled jalapeño pepper, (optional)
  7. 8 slices whole-wheat bread
  8. 2 teaspoons canola oil

Southwestern Cheese Panini Healthy Sandwich PREPARATION:


  • Have four 15-ounce cans and a medium skillet (not nonstick) ready by the stove.
  • Combine Cheddar, zucchini, carrot, onion, salsa and jalapeño (if using) in a medium bowl. Divide among 4 slices of bread and top with the remaining bread.
  • Heat 1 teaspoon canola oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place 2 panini in the pan. Place the medium skillet on top of the panini, then weigh it down with the cans. Cook the panini until golden on one side, about 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low, flip the panini, replace the top skillet and cans, and cook until the second side is golden, 1 to 3 minutes more. Repeat with another 1 teaspoon oil and the remaining panini.

Italian Vegetable Hoagies Healthy Recipe


Makes: 4 servings
Active Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
This delightfully easy, and somewhat messy, sandwich packs a punch with sweet balsamic vinegar, artichoke hearts, red onion, provolone cheese and zesty pepperoncini. We love it for dinner as well as lunch. If you're packing the hoagies to take along, keep the ingredients separate and assemble right before eating to avoid soggy bread. Serve with tomato and cucumber salad.






Italian Vegetable Hoagies INGREDIENTS:


  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion, separated into rings
  • 1 14-ounce can artichoke hearts, rinsed and coarsely chopped
  • 1 medium tomato, seeded and diced
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 16- to 20-inch-long baguette, preferably whole-grain
  • 2 slices provolone cheese, (about 2 ounces), halved
  • 2 cups shredded romaine lettuce
  • 1/4 cup sliced pepperoncini, (optional)
  • Italian Vegetable Hoagies 

PREPARATION:

Place onion rings in a small bowl and add cold water to cover. Set aside while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
Combine artichoke hearts, tomato, vinegar, oil and oregano in a medium bowl. Cut baguette into 4 equal lengths. Split each piece horizontally and pull out about half of the soft bread from each side. Drain the onions and pat dry.
To assemble sandwiches, divide provolone among the bottom pieces of baguette. Spread on the artichoke mixture and top with the onion, lettuce and pepperoncini, if using. Cover with the baguette tops. Serve immediately.

Healthy Grilled Eggplant Panini Recipe


Makes: 4 sandwiches
Active Time: 35 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes
Grilled eggplant is one of life's simpler pleasures: creamy and rich. Look for medium-size, purple eggplants with firm skins and no mushy spots. This end-of-summer treat will be even tastier if you can find the vegetables at a local farmstand—or in your own backyard!







Healthy Grilled Eggplant Panini INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 tablespoons reduced-fat mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 8 1/2-inch slices eggplant, (about 1 small)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 8 slices whole-grain country bread
  • 8 thin slices fresh mozzarella cheese
  • 1/3 cup sliced jarred roasted red peppers
  • 4 thin slices red onion

Healthy Grilled Eggplant Panini PREPARATION:

Preheat grill to medium-high.
Combine mayonnaise and basil in a small bowl. Using 1 tablespoon oil, lightly brush both sides of eggplant and sprinkle each slice with garlic salt. With the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, brush one side of each slice of bread.
Grill the eggplant for 6 minutes, turn with a spatula, top with cheese, and continue grilling until the cheese is melted and the eggplant is tender, about 4 minutes more. Toast the bread on the grill, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
To assemble sandwiches: Spread basil mayonnaise on four slices of bread. Top with the cheesy eggplant, red peppers, onion and the remaining slices of bread. Cut in half and serve warm.

Blackened Salmon Healthy Sandwich Recipe

Makes: 4 servings
Active Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Blackened salmon is great in a sandwich with a spread of mashed avocado and low-fat mayonnaise plus peppery arugula leaves, cool tomato slices and zesty red onion. We grill our Cajun-style salmon so there is no need for any added cooking oil. Catfish makes an excellent stand-in for the salmon but you'll want to use a grill basket if you have one to keep the fish from breaking apart.






Blackened Salmon Healthy Sandwich INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 pound wild salmon fillet, (see Ingredient Note), skinned (see Tip) and cut into 4 portions
  • 2 teaspoons blackening or Cajun seasoning
  • 1 small avocado, pitted
  • 2 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise
  • 4 crusty whole-wheat rolls, split and toasted
  • 1 cup arugula
  • 2 plum tomatoes, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion

Blackened Salmon Healthy Sandwich PREPARATION:

Oil grill rack (see Tip); preheat grill to high.
Rub salmon on both sides with blackening (or Cajun) seasoning. Grill until cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
Mash avocado and mayonnaise in a small bowl.
To assemble sandwiches, spread some of the avocado mixture on each roll and top with salmon, arugula, tomato and onion.

TIPS And NOTES


Ingredient note: Wild-caught salmon from the Pacific (Alaska, California, Washington and Oregon) is considered the best choice for the environment. For more information, visit Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch (mbayaq.org/cr/seafoodwatch.asp).
Tips: To skin a salmon fillet, place salmon on a clean cutting board, skin side down. Starting at the tail end, slip the blade of a long, sharp knife between the fish flesh and the skin, holding the skin down firmly with your other hand. Gently push the blade along at a 30° angle, separating the fillet from the skin without cutting through either.
To oil a grill rack, oil a folded paper towel, hold it with tongs and rub it over the rack. (Do not use cooking spray on a hot grill.) When grilling delicate foods like tofu and fish, it is helpful to spray the food with cooking spray.

Bistro Flank Steak Healthy Sandwich Recipe

Makes: 4 sandwiches
Active Time: 45 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes
Make this bistro-style sandwich, sauce and all, completely on the grill. If you're in a hurry, just grill the steak and garlic and substitute jarred roasted red peppers for the grilled bell peppers. Make it a meal: Serve with Oven “Fries” and a glass of lemonade.








Bistro Flank Steak Healthy Sandwich INGREDIENTS:

  • 6 cloves garlic, unpeeled
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3/4 pound flank steak, trimmed
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 1 medium red bell pepper
  • 1 medium yellow bell pepper
  • 4 large slices whole-wheat country bread, cut in half, or 8 small slices
  • 2 tablespoons reduced-fat mayonnaise
  • 1 cup mixed salad greens

Bistro Flank Steak Healthy Sandwich PREPARATION:

Preheat grill to medium-high.
Place garlic in the center of a piece of foil and drizzle with oil. Gather the foil together at the top to form a sealed packet. Sprinkle both sides of steak with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper.
Place the garlic packet over indirect heat or the coolest part of the grill. Place the steak and bell peppers over direct heat or the hottest part of the grill. Cook the garlic until soft and golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Cook the peppers, turning occasionally, until the skin is blistered on all sides, about 10 minutes total. Cook the steak, turning once, until desired doneness, about 6 minutes per side for medium. Transfer the garlic packet, peppers and steak to a clean platter. Tent the steak with foil to keep warm.
Grill bread, turning once, until toasted, about 1 minute per side.
When the peppers are cool enough to handle, peel and discard the stems, seeds and ribs. Slice into wide strips and toss with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Peel the garlic and place it and the oil from the packet in another small bowl. Add mayonnaise and mash with a fork until combined. Slice the steak very thinly.
To assemble sandwiches, spread 1 scant teaspoon of the roasted garlic aïoli on each piece of bread. Divide greens, the sliced steak and grilled peppers among 4 slices of bread; top with the remaining bread.
