This recipe sounds wonderful but I think the carbs are a little high for phase 1. More like phase 2 or 3. I would try using the low carb/high fiber tortilla shells. They taste just as good. I can't wait to make this for dinner!

Everything about this screams bad for you. Calories are high for only one serving, fat grams are WAY too high and the sodium is out of control. I think I will pass.
