Read MoreHealthified Mighty Cone & Jalapeño Mango Slaw
If you've ever been to Austin or ever plan on visiting, you have no doubt heard of the famous Mighty Cone! It's an amazing little food truck located in downtown Austin that serves up hot'n'crunchy everything.

This idea originally sparked when I saw some 'Hatch Green Chili Chicken Salad' at my local grocery store. It looked amazing, but I just couldn't bring myself to shell out nearly $8 for a container of it. That isn't even to mention all the horrible full fat things that I'm sure were lurking within...
