Fully Loaded Veggie Taco

Sometimes it sets me wondering why such simple and easy to make dishes find their way out of our lives and get replaced by time consuming, high calorie foods. All you gotta do here is chop the veggies and throw it onto your taco... and you are good to go!!

Ingredients
1 Soft whole wheat taco
1 [Ready to eat] Veggie Cutlet (Optional)
1/4th Onion - Julienned
4 Baby Carrots - Julienned
4 Cherry Tomatoes - Quartered
1/4th Cucumber - Diced
1 cup Iceberg Lettuce - Randomly chopped
1/8th cup Feta Cheese - Crumbled or cubed
2 tbsp Tomato Ketchup (You can use any other dressing you like. I normally use Maggie Hot and Sweet Tomato Ketchup)
1 tbsp yogurt, whipped to a smooth texture
And, of course, some salt to taste

Method

- Lay the taco on a plate
- Crush the veggie cutlet
- On the taco, smooth the ketchup or dressing as a base layer
- Now, stack up all the chopped veggies, cheese and crushed cutlet
- Drizzle the yogurt for some liquid action
- Sprinkle the salt (And pepper if you desire. I use spicy ketchup so I skip the pepper)
- Fold the taco over and serve
