The other day I posted about the same meal by Weight Watchers. This time I decided to give the Lean Cuisine equivalent a try.
(This is not my picture…I found it online when I was looking for a larger picture, but I thought seeing it outside the box was useful. I may have to do this in the future. I'll come back to that.)
So, as you can see, the enchilada and the rice come in separate compartments. Which I love, since I am all weird about mixing my food. But this meal was a little more detrimental with the partitions. Mostly because the rice didn't have a lot of flavor and when I was done with the enchilada, I put the rest of the rice into the sauce. It was much better with a little more flavor.
Now, the enchilada was much different than the previous one I had. That one had just a few chicken chunks. This one was more of a mushed up chicken-out-of-a-can-dog-food texture. There wasn't much of a texture at all. It was kind of like mush. But it actually tasted pretty good. So I will let that slide. I mean, I don't mind if I don't have to chew my food. I can eat faster that way!
This dish wasn't as spicy as the other one…or at all really. But I would eat it again.
I am starting to think that if I like what is in the meal, I will like these. I guess I am not as picky as I thought. Or maybe I just have the most unsophisticated palate ever. Or possibly, these meals are just pretty well done!
So back to my earlier question. Since I have been posting so many of these meals, would you like me to take a picture of the box and the cooked (or frozen) meal? If you might like to see this let me know. Otherwise, I will stick to finding pictures online if no one cares!
And one added bonus, if you use the “Lose It” app for the iPhone, this meal (and it looked like lots of other Lean Cuisine meals) were built in to the app.
*Updated to add:* I took a picture of the Vegetable Pizza Minis I wrote about recently when I ate them last night. In case you are curious what they look like.
