Ingredients

  • 2 cans (11 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Original French Bread
  • 1/2 cup reduced-fat chives-and-onion cream cheese (from 8-oz container)
  • 1/4 cup from 1 can (4 oz) Old El Paso™ Chopped Green Chiles, drained
  • 1 tablespoon from 1 container (6.25 oz) Old El Paso™ 25% Less Sodium Taco Seasoning Mix
  • 1 cup shredded reduced-fat Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend (4 oz)

Steps

  • 1
    Bake French bread as directed on cans.
  • 2
    Meanwhile, heat gas or charcoal grill. In small bowl, stir together cream cheese, green chiles and taco seasoning mix.
  • 3
    Cut breads in half lengthwise. Place bread halves cut sides down on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 3 to 5 minutes or until light golden brown.
  • 4
    Turn bread halves; spread cream cheese mixture evenly on cut sides of bread. Sprinkle with shredded cheese. Cover grill; cook 5 to 7 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Using reduced-sodium taco seasoning instead of the regular seasoning eliminates 40 milligrams of sodium per serving.
  • tip 2
    Substituting reduced-fat cream cheese and shredded cheese for the regular versions saves about 45 calories and 4 grams of fat per serving.
