Ingredients

  • 1 Lb Lean Ground Beef
  • 1/2 M/L Onion, diced
  • 1/2 M/L Bell Pepper, diced
  • 1 Pckt Taco Seasoning
  • 3/4 C Cottage Cheese
  • 3 Wdg Light Laughing Cow Cheese
  • 3 T Nutritional Yeast
  • 1 Pckg Joseph's Pitas

Any fillings desired

Instructions

  • In a large skillet, place ground beef, onion, and bell pepper. Cook over medium heat.
  • Once cooked, add taco seasoning, cottage cheese, light laughing cow cheese, and nutritional yeast. I did add about 1/2 cup of water. When everything is combined and melted, remove from heat.
  • Lightly spray one side of the pita, this will be the outside. One a line baking sheet, place the sprayed side down. Add about 1/6th of the meat to half of the pita. Top with a little cheese. I used reduced fat. Repeat until done. I only had 5 pitas, so I could only make 5 chalupas.
  • Fold over, Bake at 375 for about 5 minutes. Take out of the oven and flip.
  • Bake for about 5 more minutes. Taake out of the oven and flip and bake again, if needed. I cooked about 4 more minutes to get ours crispy.
  • Fill as desired. Hubby just had hot sauce. I stuffed mine with lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, avocados, and hot sauce.
  • Serve as desired.
