This is a delectable meatless meal for busy bodies. This old Mexican favorite goes well with dairy or vegan regular or Greek yogurt, and is best stuffed in a SWG tortilla/wrap. Vegan-friendly, and can be gluten-free.

My husband is diabetic, are all these meals ok for him also?
Hi, Lilmsnoitall66. Absolutely! This entire program is based on the principles of diabetic health.
I cannot find the link for reducing the number of comments – I saw earlier a post saying you were using Google Chrome, I am on an Apple Mac Book Pro running Safari. When I clicked on a link to reduce the number of servings, it only showed how to reduce the oils. I can write on the recipe, but thought it would be nice to have it done, for certain, correctly. Thanks
Goodness, not the number of comments, the number of servings. That’s what happens when you’re reading and typing at the same time. Sorry about that.
Hi, stacaz. That function is currently being upgraded, and so is not available. If you need to rightsize a recipe, try this guide: http://www.trimdownclub.com/reducing-the-size-of-recipes.
Hi, JoeSing. SWG products are made from grain that has been allowed to sprout before milling and baking. This makes the grain more easily digested and often less allergenic, and its nutrients are more available to the body. You can read more about the advantages here: http://www.trimdownclub.com/what-is-swg-bread.
What’s the difference between a SWG tortilla and a non sprouted whole grain tortilla. I want facts not hearsay.
Hi, 16wendell. Click on “Apps” above, and at the right-most end of the large application buttons, you will see “My Menus” – click on that, and find any current or past menu you wish.
How do I get back to the menu for Tuesday?
I use Google chrome. It is working for me now. Thank you for your reply.
This is delicious and easy to prepare! I will add to my favorites.
Hi, Maybabe. This particular one is working. Maybe it’s a browser issue? We are using Google Chrome here. What are you using?
The fewer servings link is still not working.
Wow! This is my kind of recipe. I am a huge fan of black beans. The cumin and cilantro give this dish a southwestern flavor appeal. I can hardly wait to try it!
SWG stands for “sprouted whole grain.” You can read more about it here http://www.trimdownclub.com/what-is-swg-bread/.
what does SWG mean?
Alice, what tracker are you using?
SWG stands for sprouted whole grain. See the Trim Down Club article on the topic here http://www.trimdownclub.com/what-is-swg-bread/.
What is SWG.
Really nice, but as it is all raw ingredients, not sure how to enter the meals in my tracker, do I have to enter each ingredient?
I made these last nite and really enjoyed them!! Definitely will make again.
what is SWG??
SWG sprouted whole grain
SWG means SINGLE WHOLE GRAIN. When you read the labels of things such as wraps and bread, etc. there needs to be ONE grain. Not multi-grain. Such as rye, wheat, corn, oat, etc. Hope this helps
My wife and I were wondering the same this. What does SWG stand for? Someone please help. Sincerely Frank
Hey All,
I went to a health food store which is the easiest place to find the products mentioned here. I got SWG (Sprouted Whole Grain) wraps and will use for this.
Please, someone tell me what SWG stand for?
Maybe Sprouted Whole Grain?
Hi, what does “SWG” stand for?
Thanks
