Ok but seriously my family and I love tacos. I’m already trying to work out how to indulge in the taste with less calories. I’ve got some ideas, but since my surgery is still a ways off, I’ll enjoy tacos for a while still
 
use lettuce to make taco wraps instead of using shells!
 
Diane I was told no tortillas because they get stuck I was told no bread either unless it’s toasted
 
Thank you Diane.I knew I can eat almost anything later down the road and have to try everything.I have eaten a hamburger lettuce wrapped 4 or 5 times already today I had one and it didn’t sit well for me also had a taco without the shell yesterday and that didn’t sit well with me either even though I had one numerous times so maybe I’ll wait for awhile to try them again.Ive been sticking by the program mostly with protein first for instance eggs,cottage cheese,refried beans etc.

I have recently found a brand of chips that I can use: Off the Eaten Path. They have "hummus" chips made from chickpeas. I have used those to turn my taco into a taco salad :). I was also given the tip that if you add shredded cheese to a skillet and melt/burn it, once it is one big/thin blob, you can hang it over the end of a couple of wooden spoons and let it set. You now have a shell made from cheese. This is on my to-do list of things to try!

Hi. Could you tell me where you bought the hummus chips?
