Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

    If you've been to a football game or other outdoor sport lately, chances are you've seen Taco in a Bag. This recipe is a take-off on that high-fat snack. The beauty of this recipe is that you can take it in the car or on a picnic. It's also loaded with fiber, calcium, iron and great taste.
