I invented this taco salad to make my kids happy. Make it with ground beef, ground turkey or ground chicken and it's equally good.
Ingredients:
1 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium taco seasoning
1 cup salsa
1 tablespoon lime juice
6 ounces baked tortilla chips (about 70 chips)
12 cups sliced iceberg lettuce
6 plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded reduced-fat mexican cheese blend
1 large sweet yellow or red pepper, thinly sliced
1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
1/3 cup fat-free sour cream
Directions:
1. In a large nonstick skillet, cook beef over medium heat 6-8 minutes or until no longer pink, breaking beef into crumbles; drain. Sprinkle taco seasoning over beef; stir to combine. In a small bowl, mix salsa and lime juice.
2. Arrange tortilla chips on a serving platter; layer with lettuce, tomatoes, beans, cheese, yellow pepper, beef mixture, onion, salsa mixture and sour cream. Serve immediately. Yield: 6 servings.
