I joined the Texas RollerGirls Recreational Roller Derby League! I don't know what the heck I was thinking. Actually, I know exactly what I was thinking. I was thinking that summer is approaching in Austin, and since I've been running, I enter summer a really strong runner (running 10 - 13 miles on my long runs) & by mid-June, I can barely run for 40 minutes without taking a walk break. So, summer is the time when I start thinking about cross training.

I am highly influenced by the power of suggestion, so when someone suggested that I sign up for Roller Derby, I did it. Aaack!

About a year ago, I found Mission Extra-Thin Corn Tortillas. The nutritionals on these tortillas are great! Considering that most flour tortillas start at 140 Calories for one, and go up from there, and typically one regular corn tortilla will be around 80 Calories. With the Mission Extra-Thin Corn Tortillas, you get two 6" tortillas for just 80 Calories! That's fantastic! By dividing the chips into 6 wedges, each chip is ~7 Calories.

Ingredients:

• 6 Mission Extra-Thin Corn Tortillas, cut in 6 wedges each
• Cooking Spray
• Coarse Salt

Directions

1. Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees. Place parchment paper over cookie sheet. Spread tortillas evenly, so that they're not touching.
2. Spray with Cooking Spray. Sprinkle with Salt.
3. Bake in oven for 12 minutes. Remove when Golden, Brown & Delicious!
