Skinny Taco Salad Recipes

Steps:

• In 10-inch nonstick skillet, cook beef over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until thoroughly cooked; drain. Stir in water, chili powder, cumin and ground red pepper; reduce heat to medium-low. Cook about 5 minutes or until most of liquid has evaporated.
• Divide lettuce among 6 salad plates; top each with meat mixture and remaining ingredients except chips. Arrange chips around salad. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Brown the turkey and prepare with taco seasoning per package directions. Allow to cool.
• Chop salad and add tomatoes, olives and any other veggies you like.
• Mix in the cheese, cooled meat, and doritoes. Add salad dressing before serving and mix well.

Steps:

• 1. In a medium skillet, brown diced onion and ground sirloin until meat is no longer pink. 2. 2. Drain any remaining grease from meat. 3. Over low heat, add in diced green chilies, taco seasoning, and ¼ cup water to meat and stir. 4. Remove from heat and let meat stand for 5 minutes. 5. In a large bowl, add lettuce, tomatoes, jalapeño peppers, and black olives. Toss to mix lightly. 6. To serve, add ¼ of salad mixture in a bowl. 7. Top salad with ¼ meat mixture. 8. Sprinkle each taco salad with cheese and add optional toppings including reduced-fat sour cream and diced avocado.

Steps:

• In a large skillet cook ground turkey and jalapeño, if using, with half of the taco seasoning mix (about 2 tablespoons) until turkey is no longer pink; remove from heat and set aside.
• Preheat oven to 325°F. Spread cream cheese into the bottom of a 13x9x2-inch baking dish. Spread cream cheese layer with refried beans. Stir the lemon juice into the mashed avocado and spread over refried bean layer. In a small bowl stir together sour cream, mayonnaise and remaining taco seasoning mix. Spread sour cream mixture on top of the avocado layer. Top with ground turkey mixture and sprinkle with cheese.
• Bake, uncovered, about 25 minutes or until heated through and cheese is evenly melted. Top with green onions, if desired, shredded spinach and chopped tomatoes. Serve with vegetable dippers and/or baked tortilla chips.
