Taco salads have been around since the '60s. And they seem to be getting greasier and more calorie-packed as the decades pass. Not to worry -- HG is here with a version that has a mere FRACTION of the calories and fat of your typical taco salad. Here's the scoop...

Ingredients:
3 cups chopped romaine lettuce
1/2 package Boca Meatless Chili (or about 2/3 cup of another low-fat veggie chili**)
1/4 cup chopped tomato
1/4 cup shredded fat-free cheddar cheese
2 tbsp. fat-free sour cream
1 tbsp. chopped or sliced black olives
6 Guiltless Gourmet Tortilla Chips (any flavor -- or any other baked tortilla chips**), crushed

Directions:
Prepare chili as directed on package. Place lettuce in a big bowl. Top with tomatoes, chili and cheese. Then add the olives and sour cream. Finish off with the crushed tortilla chips, and enjoy! MAKES 1 SERVING

OK, you don't have to be some sort of nutrition expert to know that if your salad comes in a ginormous greasy shell, it's probably not calorie-friendly or low in fat. And you really shouldn't need us to remind you of that. But we're here to do it anyway. Taco salads often contain disturbing amounts of calories and fat. Need proof? See below. The numbers here are so staggeringly high that you may find them hard to believe (but they're true, people!). Looks like the CRAZY grease-soaked shell, heaps of fatty beef, handfuls of cheese, and gobs of sour cream add up after all. Bottom line: Don't order taco salads when eating out. Instead, make 'em at home using HG's recipe. It's DELICIOSO!
