Another Taco Bell Creation

I know I covered this one before...but I have a lot of turkey taco meat to get rid of here people! lol My version:

Tj's Nachos Bell Grande! OLE!

2 corn tortillas- cut, sprayed with pam, and baked into chip form(2)
2 ounces lean turkey taco meat(2)
1/2 light cheddar cheese stick-diced or shredded (1)
green onions (0)
tomatoes(0)
1 tablespoon light sour cream(1) added to snack size baggie and squeezed out to spread over nachos evenly and to look cute-Right Lola? lol
Taco bell Mild sauce (0)

Total: 6 points

Taco Bell's Nachos Bell Grande has 18 points just in case you were wondering. :)

We had a wonderful evening last night with Sean's parents. Everyone loved dinner and dessert. We got in a little walk down the trail behind the house and even went to Trader Joe's to grab some stuff for Sean's parents. They dont have one real close to them so they wanted me to show them some good stuff. Hey I could actually start up a business based on that idea- Tj's Tj's Trips! HAHAHAHAH! Im crackin myself up over here! lol ooohhh ok...so Sean's parents came bearing gifts! A huge bag of cherries (they know Im addicted), yummy looking grapes, a big bunch of bananas, some dried fruit mix from Costco
, 4 pounds of pistachios, and 3 pounds of raw almonds!! WOW! I can not open the pistachios- I think I might eat the whole bag today. lol Any ideas on recipes that I can make to use up those nuts? humm?

It's a beautiful day today! They sun just came out actually! We get the fog that rolls in over the Oakland/Berkeley hills. I like that it cools us off, and I don't mind the dreary looking weather in the summer at all! Beats the heat! :) Leftover cutlets tonight- nothing fancy. I am actually tired from getting everything ready yesterday- I was nervous, but all went well! :) My 30 minutes of rest is scheduled for today in the form of acupuncture. Not sure it's helping much this time around, so I might not schedule another visit. I guess each needle poker does it differently- and this lady just isn't doing much for me. Oh well. Happy Friday my friends! :) BYE! Pin It

  1. Yum, nachos are my fave. I would also pile on some jalapenos, I crave the spicey kick!

  2. Damn, TJ! Damn you to TacoHell!
    It looks so good.
    ditto on cherries ... just bought a huge bag myself.

    re: nuts. I've ground pistachios really fine in a small food processor and used them along with oatbran for a crunchy coating for chicken.
    also ground up in yogurt and honey.
    I think they're used in balaclava but that would be *wrong* ~~ it'll get in your mouth.
