CRISPITOS!!!!
Ahhh who remembers these bad boys for school lunches?!
Crispito days were EVERYONES favorite day! And if you were at the end of the lunch line... you weren't getting any, at our school you could purchase as many extra as you wanted so if your last, they are completely gone by the time you reach the front! Haha I'm not kidding... when that lunch bell rang you didn't stop at your locker to put your books away! So I have a couple delicious recipes to recreate those high school days! One is healthy baked crispitos and the other are a great cheat meal( fried in oil!) My daughter requests the fried version every year for her birthday!
Healthy version
Lean ground turkey
Refried beans ( fat free)
(I actually used mashed sweet potatoes instead of beans in the ones pictured!
It was so good and y'all know I'm a sweet potato freak!
Minced onion
Taco seasoning ( or make your own like I do!)
Whole wheat tortilla shells ( or corn but they don't work as well)
Extra Virgin olive oil
Romaine lettuce, tomatoes, Greek yogurt, cheese, salsa
Cook meat then add in beans and seasoning
Coat each tortilla In oil and spoon mixture into sell and roll
Like a jelly roll
Place on baking pan 400 for about 20 minutes or until crispy
Shred romaine lettuce
( ice burg lettuce has no nutritional value so go with romaine)
Place crispitos on top lettuce and top with
Tomatoes, salsa, a little cheese, Greek yogurt ( as sour cream)
Enjoy!
2 yellow 1tsp 1.5 green
The not so healthy version
The same ingredients as above
Heat a good amount of oil in the stove top in med/high heat
Once oil is heated place 1-2 in oil at a time turning it frequently with tongs
My advice don't try to multitask during this, they can burn pretty
Quickly if your not careful ( yes learned from experience!)
It only take about 2 minutes to fry!
If your really going all out use sour cream and French dressing on top..
I LOVE FRENCH DRESSING ON THESE!
When we go all out.. we GO all out!
