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"
