Taco salads have been around since the 60s.  And they seem to be  getting greasier and more calorie-packed as the years go on.  But don't  worry,  HG has concocted an AWESOME recipe for a guilt-free version of  this Mexican fave.  This lighter take on the taco salad is incredibly delicious, and amazingly low in calories and fat.  Check it out...

Ingredients:
2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
1/2 package (4.5 oz)  Boca Chili
1/4 tomato, diced
1 oz. Kraft Fat Free Shredded Cheddar Cheese
2 Tbsp. Knudsen's Light Sour Cream
1/4 cup chunky salsa
2 black olives, chopped or sliced
6 Guiltless Gourmet Tortilla Chips (any flavor), crushed

Directions:
Prepare Boca Chili as directed on package.  Place lettuce in big bowl.  Top with tomatoes.   Add chili and cheese.  Top with olives, salsa and  sour cream.  Then finish off with crushed tortilla chips and enjoy!  Serves 1.

Ordering a salad when eating out can be a huge mistake.  Need proof?  Check out Taco Bell's Fiesta Taco Salad.  This calorie catastrophe is nothing to celebrate.  It contains a disturbing 860 calories and 46g of fat.  Ay caramba!  That's the same amount of calories you'd get from downing FIVE crunchy shell tacos (and although chewing on five tacos is way more fun, we don't recommend that either)!   So why does this so-called salad have all those calories?  The wacky deep fried shell, and all the sour cream, guacamole and cheese are wracking them up (and suffocating those defenseless greens)!   Bottom line: Don't order taco salads when eating out.  Instead, make them at home using HG's taco-rific recipe.
