Sometimes preparing a meal after a hard day makes us feel less like Giada De Laurentiis and more like a short-order cook. Our friend
Andrea Giancoli, a registered dietitian and spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association, brought the two worlds together with
a dish that’s delicious in minutes.
Using only four ingredients, Andrea’s Inside-Out Tacos calls for pre-packaged polenta instead of corn tortillas. “Just slice it and layer in the pan,” she says. Cover the polenta with vegetarian chili, fresh or canned corn and grated cheese, and bake. “
The beans and corn together make a complete protein and the cheese gives a good dose of calcium.”
