I was making tacos one night and noticed I was out of spicy taco sauce. Using a combination of spices and fat-free Catalina salad dressing saved our family taco night. —Cheryl Plainte, Prudenville, Michigan

  • 8 taco shells, warmed
  • 1/2 cup fat-free Catalina salad dressing
  • Shredded reduced-fat Colby-Monterey Jack cheese and reduced-fat sour cream, optional
