Hungry Girl Today: 3.2.10



CHEW THE RIGHT THING





BITE IT!

HG's Twice-as-Nice Guapo Taco



Double Your Pleasure...

A crunchy taco hidden inside a soft taco? What a cool idea! Sadly, the Taco

Bell version is a little LAME in the stats department. So, we did what we

always do and gave it a makeover. All you have to do is assemble and chew!



Ingredients:

1/4 cup frozen ground-beef-style soy crumbles (like the kind by Boca or

Morningstar Farms)

1/8 tsp. dry taco seasoning mix

2 tbsp. fat-free refried beans

1 La Tortilla Factory Smart & Delicious Low Carb/High Fiber Original (not

Large) tortilla, or alternative below

1 standard-sized yellow corn taco shell

1/4 cup shredded lettuce

1 tbsp. shredded fat-free cheddar cheese



Directions:

Place soy crumbles in a small microwave-safe bowl and sprinkle with taco

seasoning. Microwave until hot, about 30 seconds. Stir and set aside.



In another small microwave-safe bowl, nuke beans until hot, about 15

seconds. Stir and set aside.



Place tortilla flat on a microwave-safe plate and nuke until warm, about 10

seconds. Spread beans evenly over the exposed side of the tortilla. Set aside.



Warm shell in the microwave for 30 seconds. Place shell over the bean-

covered tortilla -- line up the shell's bottom with the tortilla's center, and

align the right side of the shell with the right side of the tortilla. Gently press

on the inside of the shell's right side to seal. Pick up the entire right half of

the taco-tortilla, and fold it over so the left sides align. Gently press on the

inside of the shell's left side to seal. (If it cracks a little, that's okay!)



Fill shell with seasoned crumbles, lettuce, and cheese. Enjoy!

FIGHT IT!

Taco Bell's Double Decker Taco



Double Trouble!

One problem with Mexican fast-food places like Taco Bell is that their

individual items are so tiny! And once you eat enough of them to feel

satisfied, you've consumed WAY too many calories and fat grams. Take T.

Bell's Double Decker Taco, for example. The calorie count isn't outlandish,

but you need to pair it up with a few other things in order to feel like you've

eaten a real meal. One measly taco just AIN'T gonna do it, people... even if

it IS wrapped in an extra tortilla. And having two for a total of 660 calories

and 26g fat is something we'd rather not do. So we decided to get it on with

some no-guilt Mexi-licious ingredients in the HG kitchen. Being DIY control-

freaks has a few perks (as does getting daily emails from them)! And it's a

lot easier than trying to get the Taco Bell employees to make their items our

way -- they tend to look at us funny when we try to shove meatless crumbles

and low-cal tortillas into their hands...
