Super Iron Tex Mex Falafel Chip Bake by Sally     Print this Recipe

Comments

"The falafel chips lend nice spices to the dinner.  They [Parents Magazine] tout it as feeding a family of four for less than $10, but I also noticed the iron and fiber content of the beans, tomatoes and the falafel chips (plus protein in quinoa) make for a great dish for growing kids."
