CHEW THE RIGHT THING
BITE IT!
HG's Rockin' Taco Salad
Taco-tastic!
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

FIGHT IT!
Average Taco Salad w/Shell
Tortilla Terror!
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!
