This has been one of those go to comfort recipes on my journey to lose weight. I have lost 50 pounds and don't feel deprived. Pair with a nice side salad for a meal that is sure to please and won't kill your waisteline.

Absolutely loved this recipe!! My picky little ones gobbled them right up. I know this is supposed to be a lighter version, but next time I can't help but to add some Fat Free Sour Cream and a mock guacomole!! Thanks for this keeper.

This was a nice meal that went together fast. The taco sauce was pretty dominant and would really be great with some onion and garlic added- would not add any fat and not many calories just depth of flavor. The chips on top added a nice crunch to the dish but it would be just as good without them. Served with some beans and a green salad. Thanks for sharing this great recipe seesko! Made for Bevy Tag
