Low Carb
Use Whole wheat Tortilla Carb Balance burrito size shells. By using the Tortilla Carb Balance shells it makes this dish low carb. They are only 8g of net carbs per serving. I like to eat this on my low carb days since I follow the FWTFL . Check your local grocery store for these.
Greek Yogurt
By using Greek yogurt in place of sour cream makes this recipe a healthy one. My kids can’t even tell the difference. I don’t even buy sour cream anymore. Give it a try.
