Comfort Food (the healthy way)

Taco Salads are one of my comfort foods. No one thinks of taco salads as comfort foods, I am sure. But to me, they are. In an effort to eat healthier though, I needed to make it better, but no less delicious. So, I cut out the chips here, and you don’t really miss them. If you do, add them. And tonight, I made cheaters guacamole.

Vegetarian Taco Salad

1 large can Muir Glen Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes
1 bag Morningstar Farms Crumbles
½ tsp cumin
½ tsp ancho chili powder
½ tsp dried oregano
1 tsp garlic powder
Field Greens
4 green onions, chopped
4 oz. Cabot 75% reduced fat cheddar cheese , shredded
Handful chopped cilantro
40 cherry tomatoes
Guacamole
Light sour cream

In a large non stick pan, cook whole can of tomatoes and whole bag of soy crumbles, add all the dry spices and cook down until the liquid is reduced. Assemble salad and eat up.


Cheater’s Guacamole
