Did you know that even though 30 percent of Americans know Domino’s “30 Minutes or Less” guarantee, the promotion stopped in 1993? There were several high-profile lawsuits against the company after drivers were charged with reckless driving and causing serious accidents trying to get people their pizzas quickly. After the company lost $78 million in a single court case, Domino’s believed the public viewed the guarantee as the cause of horrifying accidents. They thought there was too much bad publicity around it.

The idea of taco bowls goes back so far that no one on our team remembers a time before you could get big, crispy taco shells filled with salad at the mall food court. It evolved, partly because of Chipotle and Taco Bell restaurants, to be a general term for any bowl filled with taco ingredients. They’re luring because everything in a taco is great. Because many things in taco bowls are high in carbs, fat and calories, they are a dish that’s not on the menu every day of the week. But this version of the taco bowl uses cauliflower rice and ground turkey, cutting out the carbs from the rice and fat from the beef. They keep the great flavors but are healthier, so you don’t have to worry about your health goals! A serving has 243 calories, 14 grams of carbs, five grams of fiber and four grams of fat.
