  • 10 Thin Won Ton Wrappers (New Hong Kong Won Tons have the lowest points+!)
  • 1/2 cup fat free refried beans, warmed
  • 1/2 cup ground turkey taco meat, cooked
  • 1 oz low fat sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup romaine lettuce, shredded
  • 1/2 cup tomatoes, diced
  • 1 Tbsp black olives & sweet cherry peppers, sliced
  • 1 Tbsp 0% Greek Yogurt, drizzled (it’s your sour cream!)
  • Hot sauce and cilantro to garnish
INSTRUCTIONS
1.  Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Spray a large muffin pan with nonstick spray and line with won ton wrappers.  Bake for 3-4 minutes or until golden and browned.  Make sure to watch the won tons because they cook quickly.
2.  Layer up your taco salads!  Start by placing 1 tsp of beans and meat into each “taco shell”.  Then, top with lettuce, tomatoes, olives, cherry peppers and cheese. 
3.  Place Greek yogurt into a Ziploc baggie and cut off a small corner.  Drizzle over taco salads.  Top with a dash of hot sauce and cilantro, if using, and dig in.

Mashed Sweet Potatoes Brulee
 I am starting to post Thanksgiving recipes since it's right around the corner, so we are testing out lots of side dishes in my home. We really loved this recipe, I can happily say this is the dish that finally turned me into a sweet potato fan.

To prepare ahead, make the mashed sweet potatoes the day before, then re-heat them before topping with sugar and broiling. Once you broil them, you'll want to serve them right away. If you are bringing them to someone's house, don't add the brown sugar topping until you are ready to serve.

:
  • 5 1/2 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and boiled until soft (6 cups cooked)
  • 3/4 cup 1% milk
  • 3 tbsp light butter, softened
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup unpacked light brown sugar
  • Directions:

    When the potatoes are cooked and soft, combine them with milk, light butter, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg and mash or puree until smooth.
Spoon into a 9 x 9 or 11 x 7-inch baking dish.  Preheat the broiler. Sprinkle 1/2 cup brown sugar evenly over top. Broil 2 minutes or until sugar melts, careful not to burn. Let it stand until the melted sugar hardens (about 5 minutes).
