SPICY MEXICAN CARROTS
This Mexican restaurant side dish is one of my favorites....I love them from Roberto's Taco shops in Las Vegas. I found this recipe online and think it comes pretty close to Roberto's! You could modify it by adding sliced onions, if desired. This is a great low-cal snack to keep on hand - it's great when you're craving salty/spicy food!
