Katie Johnson was close to home last season with San Diego Wave FC. This season, she’s made it home. Johnson, a Monrovia resident and a Flintridge Sacred Heart and USC grad, signed a two-year contract with Angel City FC in January. “I think the ultimate decision did come down to feeling like this is the later part of my career and this is an opportunity that I’ve wanted my entire life to play at home in front of my family and friends,” Johnson said. “To have that opportunity given to me, I wanted to take advantage of it, so that was the main reason behind coming (to Angel City).” Johnson was a free agent after last season, part of the...

These simple chalupas are going to be my breakfast in the morning. To my knowledge, they are not authentic Mexican, but I think of them as such. For these I typically just use the Mission low-carb whole wheat tortillas for convenience. You can use either bacon or thin-sliced cured ham. The little bit of jalapeno in these is quite tasty without being too spicy. I’m not a big fan of overly spicy food. Give these a try! Your palate, tummy and family will be happy!

INGREDIENTS: 2 Mission brand whole-wheat Carb-Balance flour tortillas (6″ diameter) 1 T. unsalted butter 2.6 oz. lean cured ham (or bacon pre-fried) 1 green onion, chopped ½ jalapeno,...
