Patriotic taco salad bowls
If you're looking to avoid grilling this year and want to try something new instead, then why not make these patriotic taco salad bowls? They're a lighter, healthier alternative that still fit the theme perfectly, without requiring you to spend the day slaving away at the grill. You can easily shape the taco bowls like stars, and the tomatoes, blue corn tortillas and sour cream add a vibrant red, white and blue color scheme! The great thing is that you can easily make these vegetarian if you swap out the taco meat with extra veggies.
