Taco Flat

For years (back in the days when my hubby and I were overweight and unhealthy) we had a tradition while watching the Super Bowl. Even though I was never into the game, but more enjoyed watching the commercials - we had the traditional Taco Ring while watching the game. It was made with ingredients that contributed to our unhealthy lifestyle.

Fast forward to changing our eating lifestyle and we dropped that tradition.

This year - even though I have no idea who is playing in the game, I decided to try and create a healthy recipe that would come close to mimicking the flavor of our long, past traditional meal.

Thus, comes the...

Taco Flat!

With the first experiment, it was a SUCCESS!

(Posting here for you as well as a record for me to refer back to next year.)
