Hitting the Sauce

The young cashier looked up at me, one eyebrow raised, "Planning a salsa party, are we?"

"No, just a good deal," and I handed her a stack of coupons.  The Hy-Vee I stopped at yesterday had an endcap of Ortega products marked down; taco shells were just 99-cents and the taco sauce was 3/$2, which for those of you who are mathematically challenged means two jars came up for 67-cents each and the third rang up at 66-cents. Factor in my $1.00 off two Ortega product coupons, and figure in the fact that during the summer we go through several bottles a week with our favorite hot summer day tortilla chip dip, and this particular stockpile will likely get us through August, and for only 16 and 17-cents a bottle!



Mary's easy breezy taco layer dip

For a low-fat dip on a hot summer day, use Lays Baked tortilla chips and dip them in this treat. I eat this for a meal

line a cake pan with tin foil or wax paper, or this will be a mess to clean up.

Use two blocks of fat-free cream cheese as the bottom layer. Top with two smaller jars of taco sauce, or one larger jar. Top with chopped lettuce, cut up tomatoes and a bag of fat-free Kraft cheese.  Those with more refined taste buds will want to add chopped onions and olives.  Push down to compress the ingredients together, and dip the chips into it.  Enjoy!
