Southwestern Egg Rolls

This is one of my all time favorite hot foods to serve at a party and they are even classy enough to serve at a co*cktail party too. This recipe calls for egg roll wrappers. However, if you can’t find them, you can substitute with flour tortillas. And these egg rolls can be made different ways with switching out the meat, beans and seasonings to suit your taste.

Different Variations for Cauliflower Crust Pizza

  • If you want a more traditional pizza, feel free to swap out the cooked chicken for pepperoni and the barbecue sauce for traditional pizza sauce.However, the SmartPoints values will change.But you could always use turkey pepperoni and no sugar added tomato sauce.
  • Why is there no cheese?Frankly I love the flavor of the no sugar barbecue sauce and the chicken. I didn’t miss the cheese at all, but feel free to add it.
  • You can easily reduce the SmartPoints even more if you use 0 SP Sauce and nothing but vegetables.Roasted vegetables would be fantastic.Think:Green Pepper + Onion, Portobello Mushrooms + Red Onion, and don’t forget Green Peppers + Pineapple. Yum!
