I like to make popcorn for my girls lunches, its super cheap and I don’t have to worry about any funky ingredients I don’t want them to have.
I decided to make this “Cheesy” Taco Popcorn in order to mix it up for them, and they really liked it.
Keep in mind my recipe is not real cheese.. it’s Nutritional Yeast. Never hear of it? It’s great stuff. It has a cheesy flavor so you can actually use it to replace cheese in some recipes (the other day I put it in a quiche I made and it did not need any cheese at all. It’s fun to sprinkle on popcorn all by itself or you can mix it into mayo for a unique sandwich spread..
2 tablespoons of Nutritional Yeast have 60 calories with 5 g of carbohydrates (4 g are fiber), 9 g of complete protein, nine amino acids, selenium and potassium and it has 35 to 100 percent of all of the B vitamins, except B12.
See??.. good stuff 🙂 Now go get some and try this popcorn (in a pinch you could use powdered cheese.. but it has none of that good stuff).
