Recommended Posts

it’s basically just Nachos but with chicken and black Beans so they are a little healthier Than the original. I’m going to try a few with baked tortilla scoops and reduced fat cheese.

YUM! I love nachos!

I have made them once since surgery and used the Quest Protein chips, but they aren't my favorite. So, I need to try other options. Mr. tortilla are super low calorie/carb tortillas. They are good and they make chips but I haven't tried them. I might just cute up a wrap or 2 and air fry my own to make them even better and give it a try!

I do eat a few regular tortillas with guacamole or salsa at Mexican restaurants but nothing like I used to.

Well I just seen a “recipe” for homemade ones. You just cut up wraps brush with oil or spray then bake (or air fry) and salt them. I was just wondering if they are any good.

Yeaa, I plan to try them. I was going to attempt it first just plain/ no oil and see. Cheap enough experiment. haha

Then go on to the oil if needed.

Wow. I just looked at those mr tortilla chips on Amazon $5 a bag for 2oz. Why is healthy food so darn expensive. I am probably ordering them anyways but I just don’t think it’s fair.

yea. If the salt doesn’t seem to stick I’d try the pam spray. That’s what the “recipe” called for.

Agreed, the tortillas are expensive too. But considering I only 1 or 2 at a time they last a while. I had to freeze them so they didn't mold. I haven't tried them thawed out yet though, it could ruin them. The reviews said they freeze well though so we shall see.

Okay I was literally on my way to Walmart to get ingredients and I’m thinking this through. I don’t think after we toast the tortillas they can be re toasted to melt the cheese and stuff without burning. Idk. I stopped at Publix to grab a bag of baked scoops just in case. For 16 chips it’s 120 calories.

So I tried them both ways (baked scoops and homemade tortillas). I actually liked them flavor wise about the same but the scoops were easier to eat. The wraps aren’t as crisp and sorta remind me of an open faced quesadilla but still very good. I made mine in a skillet first and then added toppings and baked. The first time I sprayed oil on the baking sheet and they came out crispier than the second time I forgot it. I will perfect this recipe though cause it’s too good to give up on. Even my husband liked it and he can eat anything he wants.

Ps. It’s very filling so if you don’t like soggy chips don’t make a lot. I cut the tortilla in 6 and I’m on my third slice and stuffed. I did use more chicken and Beans then the recipe called for though so it’s a lot of Protein.

Ooh I must add. It doesn’t take anywhere near the ten minutes the recipe calls for to melt the cheese and I worried that the homemade tortilla chips would burn so I took them out asap. It was a lot 3.5 minutes and cheese was melted. (Chicken and Beans were added at room temperature and they were warm too).

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
