Cravings - Vegetable Tortilla Stew Recipe

You know how I keep talking up the Cravings cookbook? It's because everything I have tried is seriously sooooo good. The spicy Italian sausage meatloaf, the chicken lettuce wraps and the vegetable tortilla stew. I am slowly making my way through the cookbook and I have nothing but good things to say about it....so far.

I want to share the Vegetable Tortilla Stew with you all. Don't worry. I am giving all the credit to Chrissy. It is just too good not to share. Plus if you like this, you would love the whole cookbook.

I will mention that I did not make the tortilla strips. Her recipe calls for it, but I just didn't have the time nor did I want a pan of oil frying near children. I bought Fresh Gourmet Tortilla Strips Lightly Salted instead and they were very tasty.

It's healthy-ish (minus the cheese) and so flavorful.

  2. Yum yum yum! We've only made one thing from the book so far (the chili) and it was delicious (although next time, I'm cutting down the salt because it was WAY too salty for us). Definitely want to try this one!
