TEN MINUTE TACO SALAD

Traditional taco salads are typically served in a ‘Taco Bowl’ which can pack as much as 500 calories and 20 grams of fat just for the bowl! This bowl only adds 100 calories, and makes this taco salad fun to eat! (You could also skip this step and serve this salad in a regular bowl as well!)

TEN MINUTE TACO SALAD

From Dashing Dish 

2 cups shredded lettuce

3/4 cup meatless crumbles, de-thawed according to package directions (or 1/2 cup lean ground beef/ground turkey, fully cooked)

1/4 cup taco sauce

1/4 cup canned corn

1/4 cup salsa

1 tbs light ranch (or sour cream)

1 low carb wrap (such as La Tortilla brand, or something with 100 calories/high in fiber)

Optional: 1/4 cup low fat shredded cheese, 1/4 cup black beans

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Gather ingredients.

After removing the corn from the can, (measure out 1/4 cup for the salad, and save the rest in a tupperware), remove the paper from the can, and place it on a sheet pan. (You could use any empty can you have on hand, or an oven safe mug or dish that you can drape the wrap over).  Drape the wrap over the can, and place in the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the tortilla is golden brown, and crispy.

While the tortilla is baking, add the taco sauce to the meat, and stir until well combined.

Measure out, and prepare the rest of the ingredients to put in the salad.

When the tortilla is cooled, take it off the can, (it only takes about a minute), and add the lettuce first, followed by the rest of the ingredients.

Serve immediately and Enjoy!!!
