Attosa,

Wowie Kazowi, this looks so scrumptious, I'm going to "have to" make them soon, or I won't be right, haha That's what I say when I can't get something out of my mind in a food that has stuck my minds tastebuds.:)

I'm a taco nut, which I love them for all the yummies on them, but this is something I can love for what's completely on and "in them" (the taco shells) too.

Thank you so much for this one!

Yes, I'm so into taco's, well, I just love them for all the wonderful yum yum's that are placed on top and (seriously) I eat them 2 to 3X a week for lunch, because they're so healthy and I'm hooked (for real) on the flavors.

What's really "interesting" or odd, not sure which, haha but, I can't go a whole week without them, so one day I looked it up (the toppings) like cilantro, hot sauce, etc. . . . and just all the goodies that are put on them, and I learned that the combination of "those foods" the "combo of the veggies" actually cause the body to release endorphins, isn't that "something"? So that's when I learned "why" I am soooo addicted to them, it's because when endorphins are released in the body, we feel good. Like eating chocolate too, dark chocolate, it causes that endorphin release in the body too, which is why people (some may not know why) they love it so much, but...it is their body making them feel good.

So now to have the "healthy taco shells", this is like I hit the Jack Pot! :)

Thank you very very much Attosa :)

Whoa! I did not know that about the taco endorphins! That is super cool and explains a whole lot with the whole fascination and addiction with tacos across the planet. Taco Tuesdays just is not enough. I love it a few times a week, too. ;) This version is easy for me to digest, I find! x
