From now on you will probably see Taco Bell recreations quite often. Taco Bell was my "fat" friend. Now it's just my dear, old friend. I knew if I was going to lose weight, I'd to give up my weekly 8 item Taco bell splurges. But I also knew that to be happy, I'd have to find a way to still get my fix. Thus, I began recreating Taco Bell items at home.
My " Baja Beef Chalupa"
Ingredients:
1 Pita (perferrable Western Bagel's Alternative Pita for 110 cals)
2/3 cup soy crumbles
1 tablespoon taco seasoning
1/4 cup fat free shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded lettuce
1 roma tomato
"Baja" Sauce:
1/4 cup fat free sour cream
1 teaspoon Sriracha (or to taste)
chili powder

Warm pita in microwave for 15 seconds. Cut in half and seperate.
Mix soy crumbles with taco seasoning. Microwave for 1 minute (until cooked).
Combine all ingredients in sauce. Lather the inside of your pita with sauce.
