So while on the prowl for a new lighter recipe I came across tonights dish. It combines comfort food, easy casserole, and healthier ingredients. Can't be done? Oh ho faithful blog readers it can be!
Here's what you'll need:
Skinny Doritos Taco Bake
I originally got this recipe from Plain Chicken.
Confession: I get A LOT of recipes from there, and then make them "skinny".
Here's how I made this recipe Skinny:
Skinny Dorito Taco Bake
INGREDIENTS:
*1 can reduced fat crescent rolls
*1/2 lb. extra lean ground beef (I use 97% lean)
*1 can Original Rotel, drained
*1 package Taco Seasoning
*1 6 oz. container Fage 0% plain greek yogurt
*1 cup reduced fat shredded cheddar cheese
*1/2 bag Baked Doritos Nacho Cheese chips, crushed
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. In a large skillet, brown ground beef and drain off fat.
Add in taco seasoning and Rotel. Simmer for 5 minutes.
3. Press crescent rolls in the bottom of a 9x13 greased pan.
Press seams to seal. Top crescent rolls with meat mixture, then spread
greek yogurt over meat. Top with shredded cheese and crushed Doritos.
4. Bake for 30 minutes.

That's a big piece, y'all!!
WWPoints: *8 per serving
Sooooo good!! My only complaint (and it's a small one) is there seemed to be
too much taco seasoning for my taste.
Tid Bits:
*None tonight guys
Ma's Spot: I quite enjoyed this recipe. It looks heavy but it really wasn't which is a plus.
I liked the fact that it didn't use that much meat and the yogurt was a nice touch.
I love any meals that are quick and easy. Also any recipes that don't have a ton of fat and calories I'm all for.
I found that the using the whole pouch of taco seasoning for this recipe was too much.
I would definitely use less of the baked Doritos as well. So if you're looking for a dish that is
light and packs quite a punch than this dish is for you.
SNACK CORNER:* It's time for snack corner! Where we take new snacks in the grocery
store and break it down for you. We tell you which are hot and which
are not. Let's get to this week's pick:
WW points: *4 for 17 chips
Dinah: On tonight's agenda we've
Got the new flavor from Lays. Chicken & Waffles is apart of the 3 finalists for the next Lays flavor.
Your blog mistress actually submitted 2 flavors (feta and spinach and sugar and spice) sadly they
weren't chosen but the flavors that were chosen are pretty damn good. You'd think by the
chicken and waffle flavors it would be a weird combo and it is but it works! These two should just get married.
Try these and the other flavors and vote for your fave. Don't let us influence you ;).
Ma: When we saw these chips on the shelf I thought "Wow, this sounds like a strange flavor but interesting".
I love chicken and waffles so I said what the hell lets get these chips! So I took them home and opened them up.
The smell of them was amazing! One bite of these and I knew I was hooked. And so the saying goes you can't
have just one chip. I have to say in all the years I've been eating potato chips these have become my favorite.
I could truly eat a whole bag. As I sit there eating these I thought is it weird that I like this odd combination of chips?
I said hell no, and continued eating them. So out of the new flavors this is the winner for me. So don't let the title
fool you, go grab the bag and enjoy!
That's it for tonight. We'll be back next Tuesday with more recipe goodness. Have a great week guys!
