Yesterday I was looking for something to snack on. I wanted potato chips. I almost went to the store to buy some potato chips. Mmmm potato chips. I didn’t do it, I was strong. I instead came home to see what I could find to eat. I had purchased a package of 90 corn tortillas for a fish taco recipe and decided to experiment. Yesterday I attempted to make Doritos and discovered that, while not bad, using popcorn seasoning on my “chips” didn’t quite have the flavor I was seeking. Today I was in the mood for nachos. I cut 5 corn tortillas into 8 pieces and baked them for 12 minutes on 350. I then salted and peppered them. I ate a few and they totally cured my chip craving. The good news..the whole plateful was only 245 calories. The package also says they are fat free, but that is for a serving of 2 tortillas. I added some low fat sour cream , 2% milk cheese, and some salsa for a total calorie count of 445. The fat was about 14grams. I enjoyed my tasty meal and now have a plan for when the chip craving strikes. Also, the tortillas are around 3 dollars for 90 at Wal-Mart.
YUM! I mist with Pam before baking and sprinkle on spices, chili powder, garlic, cumin are all good and then bake. I agree, perfect and portion controlled. I can eat a whole bag of doritos and not even realize it.
