Saffron Road Korean Style Taco

Saffron Road's new Korean Style Tacos come frozen in two varieties — chicken and tofu —  packed into an organic corn tortilla with vegetables and home made slaw, and topped with a complimenting Korean sauce. The tacos are halalp and gluten free- certified. One taco contains 210 to 230 calories, 1.5 grams saturated fat (of 8 to 12 grams total fat), 470 to 500 milligrams sodium and 5 to 9 grams protein.     - bonnie: I expected lots more flavor from these bland tacos. After microwaving, the taco shell falls apart and is too soggy to eat. Not up to Saffron Road's usual quality. Follow @BonnieBOTB
