Choco Taco / Weekly Recap

May 4, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 15 Comments

Hello!

Today I have a fun treat!  That everyone will love!  Remember Choco Tacos?  Well I made a healthy version of the beloved ice cream treat!!

Choco Taco

My Choco Taco is made with a regular crunchy taco shell and my favorite all time snack, Greek Yogurt!  I wasn’t sure how it would turn out, but it turned out fantastic!  It almost tasted like a donut!  Sounds crazy, but it’s true.  The taco shell stayed crunchy.  The yogurt wasn’t to hard and the chocolate, oh the sweet, sweet chocolate!  Mmmmm…  I mixed my greek yogurt with vanilla extract and a pinch of stevia to sweeten it up.  If you have vanilla yogurt, that would work out great too!!  Also, if you have a low fat frozen ice cream that would be fantastic to use.  However, I am partial to my greek yogurt, so that is what I used.

Choco Taco


I filled my taco as high as I could with my greek yogurt and placed it in the freezer for about an hour or so.  To keep it held upright, I used a freezer safe container to hold it in place.  It looks kind of funny, but it works!

The Making of Choco Taco

I topped my taco with melted dark chocolate and honey roasted peanuts.  Amazing!!  When you melt the chocolate in the microwave, you need to add a little more than your going to use, because it’s easier to melt.  Once your melted chocolate hits the frozen yogurt, it hardens right away, so be prepared for that and quickly top with your nuts so they stick.

Choco Taco

This was really a fun dessert to make and I got this idea out of the Food Network magazine.  They used vanilla ice cream and lots of chocolate, believe me I would have liked to have done that, but I need to keep it skinny!  I am very happy with my taco, it’s simply perfect and a great dessert, that is practically guilt free.

A fun, healthy taco made with greek yogurt and topped with dark chocolate and honey roasted peanuts.
Serves: 1 Taco
Ingredients
  • 1 crunchy taco shell
  • ½ cup greek yogurt plain or vanilla
  • ⅛ tsp. vanilla extract
  • ⅛ tsp stevia
  • 5 peanuts, chopped small (I used honey roasted salted)
  • 13 grams dark chocolate
  • Note: If using vanilla greek yogurt, omit the vanilla extract and stevia
Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, add plain greek yogurt, vanilla extract and stevia. Mix until combined.
  2. Fill taco shell with greek yogurt and place in freezer for about 1 hour or so.
  3. Meanwhile, just before taco is ready, chop the chocolate and place in the microwave and microwave in 10 second intervals, until melted. NOTE: For easy making, you should use additional chocolate so it doesn't burn and it's easy to mix.
  4. Drizzle chocolate over frozen yogurt and top with nuts.
  5. Note: Greek yogurt is great to use, if you are planning to eat this recipe right away, if you want to store or freeze your Choco Taco, I recommend using a low fat or a yogurt mixed ice cream.

Choco Taco

I love these tacos and now that I still have a few shells left and plenty of yogurt, I think I’ll be making this for dessert again and again!

I decided on no link ups this weekend and I would just post this weeks weekly recap.

Sunday:  Bircher Muesli – This is an amazing breakfast and I did make it again this week.  I just love it!  It’s healthy, easy, no bake and so delicious!  If you like oatmeal, I highly recommend giving this recipe a shot!

Bircher Muesli Monday:  Pina-Banana Smoothie – Perfectly refreshing, tropical and a great way to bring in the Spring season and with the hot weather were having here.  Were breaking record temperatures this week, mid 90’s and high winds!  Not a good combination for wild fires!  But this smoothie was perfect for this kind of weather!!  Well, honestly, it could be snowing out and I would still drink it!!

Pina-Banana Smoothie

Tuesday:  Mexican Fiesta Salad – Love this salad!  I made it into a burrito this week too!  All my favorites in one salad!!  I can’t even say enough about it!  It’s just darn good!

Mexican Fiesta Salad

Wednesday:  Lightened Up Guacamole – I love avocados and I am so glad I discovered them about a year ago.  I honestly thought I was allergic to them, and then I thought I would try them again and then no stomach ache!  Ever since then I haven’t stopped eating them!  They are such a great and versatile fruit.  Yes they are a fruit and not a vegetable.  I had to google it to be sure.

Lightened Up  Guacamole

Thursday:  Baked Churros-  Simply amazing!  All I can say is they taste like a Churro and it’s fewer calories and healthier for you.  I love that!!  Love it!  These are the perfect little treat that will be sure to please kids of all ages!

Baked Churros

Friday:  Grilled Pork wrapped in Bacon Tacos – I love these tacos!  Cooking the pork in bacon is such a great idea!  The bacon really adds flavor to the pork, even if you don’t eat a piece of bacon.  The meat was tender, juicy and not chewy at all.  You would think using bacon it would be greasy, but it wasn’t.  I know I will be making this again.  Mixing the pork with the cabbage slaw is a perfect combination.  The cabbage adds a nice crunch to the tacos.  I simply love this meal!!!

Grilled Pork and Bacon Tacos

Well my Friends!  I have some fun and exciting things lined up for next week.  Hoping it all pans out!

Enjoy your Cinco de Mayo weekend!  Have a Skinny Strawberry Margarita, some Healthy Tacos and enjoy yourself!

Toodles,

Jennifer

P.S.  This weeks craving is Pizza Burgers.  I have been wanting a burger for two weeks now and by golly I’m making them this weekend!

    The choco taco takes me back to the days of chasing after the ice cream trucks as a kid. Your versions looks delicious and now I’m craving ice cream. Yum.

    I like greek yogurt as well, it’s so thick and delicious. One of my most favourite dessert is frozen yogurt, so this recipe will be perfect for me during hot summer days.

The Kissing Booth sign is reversible and the other side says kissing booth, kiss me I’m Irish with green writing and green lips. I’ll share the other side in stories. It’s so cute!

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together. 
🌿
Tomorrow I am going to start to share Valentines Day. My dining room is filling up with hearts. It’s so fun. I can’t wait to start sharing. Hope you have a beautiful day!
