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...
