| 1 teaspoon | 5ml | Oil |
| 1 teaspoon | 5ml | Chili powder |
| 6 | Tabasco sauce | |

Scrub potatoes and prick with a fork. Microwave uncovered on HIGH for about 10 minutes or until tender. Cool. Halve each potato lengthwise, leaving a 1/4-inch shell. Combine oil, chili powder and hot sauce into a small bowl. Brush this mixture into the insides of the potatoes. Cut each half of each potato in half again. Place onto a baking sheet.
Fill each with chopped turkey bacon, tomato and green onion. Top with cheese. Bake in a 450 degree oven for about 10 minutes or until cheese is melted and wedges are heated through. Optionally, serve with salsa. Two tablespoons adds less than 20 calories.
