I just saw a recipe that was similar in our local paper today. It was taco meatball sandwiches and you mix everything in the meatball even the crunched up chips and you can bake the meatballs. Also I think the recipe called for ground turkey. You put 3 meatballs on a hotdog bun and top with salsa. I will try to find the recipe but I believe it was only 250 cal. I love anything "taco".
