Health One Meal Replacement's Facebook page has a number of great recipes. One of their recipes is tortillas. They do take some time to make - but definitely worth the effort! The result is a bit of a cross between a tortilla and pita bread. The recipe is for two servings of tortillas - two tortillas per serving. Since they reheat so well in the microwave you could easily make up some extra batches. I kept the calorie breakdown separate between the tortillas and the filling - so be sure to figure your additive calories correctly. Enjoy!

Another in the ever growing pantheon of Grim Girl winning recipe adaptations. It's so good to see the potato soup recipes being elevated like this, because you're right, as a plain soup, Health One isn't going to win many awards! I had a question on frying pan options. I end up going to the non-stick almost always when I'm frying Health One, but I'd like to find a way to get my favorite old cast iron into the fray. I love the texture and added flavor when using cast iron, but I've been stymied by sticking. Any advice?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words Greg. As far as the cast iron skillet...hmmm...let me think on that one. I have always "cured" mine with bacon grease - just like my mom and her mom. Let me pull mine out, dust it off and see if I can come up with some alternatives. I love a challenge!
