So popular in Texas where it’s the smaller cousin to the breakfast burrito.One problem, it’s usually pretty fattening, but not this skinny one…My slimmed down version is a healthy way to start the day!

- 2 tablespoons tomatoes, chopped
- 2 tablespoons romaine lettuce, chopped

Most supermarkets sell packages of taco shells. Look for these crispy shells in the same aisle where salsa is sold. I used a brand called Mission. Store leftover shells in an airtight plastic bag. They will keep wrapped for several weeks.
