Kabuki's TVP Nacho's

Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups TVP "Textured Vegetable Protein Granules" -- Prepared, Using Basic Recipe on package
1 package taco seasoning mix -- prepared as directed
4 fat-free American cheese slice
4 corn tortillas
1/4 cup picante sauce -- or favorite Salsa

Directions:
Prepare TVP according to recipe. Stir fry TVP adding taco seasoning mix (see note), cook according to directions on package.

Cut corn tortilla each into 4 pieces. Place the triangles on a paper towel in the microwave. Microwave for 1 minute on high. Turn triangles over and cook on high for an additional 1 minute. Remove and season lightly with salt.

Arrange prepared tortillas on plate, top with TVP mixture and each with 1/4 of a cheese slice. Return to microwave, heat for about 15-20 seconds, Just until cheese has melted. Serve with Salsa. Four triangles are one (normal) serving. WLS patients should be comfortable with two triangles.

Per 4-tortilla serving: 216 Calories (kcal); 1g Total Fat; (2% calories from fat); 22g, Protein; 29g Carbohydrate; 0mg Cholesterol; 1044mg Sodium

NOTES : One package of seasoning seems too much for me in this recipe. I have a tendency to sprinkle about half of the package, then smell it. Usually 3/4 of the package is all I end up using. Add to suit your taste. I also like to add chopped onions, at start of the cooking process.
