VEGETARIAN TACO SALAD - LOW FAT



Vegetarian Taco Salad - Low Fat image

No meat or meat substitutes - great for winter days when fresh veggies are hard to find. Yummy vegetarian taco salad that even my 11 year old enjoys. Polenta corn chips have only 3.5g of fat per ounce - I use SOLEA polenta chips.
