SPICY FAJITA SOUP

Steps:

• In the sleeve of a slow cooker, add the onions, peppers, corn, tomatoes, garlic, 1 tablespoon chile powder, chipotle, and broth. Season with and salt and pepper, to taste. Cook on low for 4 to 6 hours.
• In a deep skillet over medium heat, add the canola oil and heat to 365 degrees F. Fry the tortilla pieces until brown and crispy, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain on brown paper and immediately season with salt and the remaining 1 tablespoon chile powder. (Reserve half the chips for Online Round 2 Recipe Creamy Mexican Dip with Spiced Chips.)
• Preheat the broiler.
• (Reserve 1 cup of the onion and pepper mixture for Round 2 Recipe Creamy Mexican Dip with Spiced Chips.) Ladle the soup into ovenproof bowls or crocks and top each with 2 tablespoons cheese. (Reserve remaining 1/2 cup cheese for Round 2 Recipe Crispy Steak Sandwiches.) Put the bowls on a sheet pan and put under the broiler until the cheese is brown and bubbly, 1 to 2 minutes. Garnish with scallions and serve.

CROCK POT BEEF FAJITA SOUP

Steps:

• 1. This meal amounts/cooks down to 1 lean protein serving of beef, 2-ish green servings of mushroom and green peppers, and 2 condiments of bouillon, garlic clove, and jalapeno pepper. Feel free to substitute ingredients to your own taste.
• 2. Add prepared ingredients to crockpot. Cook for 6-8 hours on low. Remove from heat and serve.
• 3. This will also do well for a family meal if added to a bed of rice or used for fajita taco filling. A Medifast-er can feel more comfortable with a bed of cauli-rice when seated at a family meal. I suggest non-Medifast-ers add onions, ground pepper, and other spices for the full "fajita" effect.
