2 ½ oz. protein*, 1 carb, 1 veggie, & 1 dairy *(Weight of protein in recipes is before cooking unless otherwise specified.)
Ingredients:
- 3 oz raw Maverick Ranch® ground round (This shrinks about ½ oz during cooking)
- 1 cup lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces (look for pre-shredded in produce dept.)
- ¼ cup cucumber, chopped
- ¼ cup onion, chopped (Spanish onion or scallion works well)
- ¼ cup tomato, chopped
- 2 ½ oz fat free cheese, shredded
- taco seasoning mix (to taste)
- ¼ cup salsa
- 1 Tbl. Fat free sour cream
- Tortilla Chips *
Brown ground beef in a small non-stick fry pan on medium heat. Drain, rinse (to remove excess fat), and place back in pan. Add 3 Tbl water and taco seasoning mix. When it gets bubbly, reduce heat to low and simmer for about 2 minutes. Place lettuce in bottom of a salad bowl. Then add ground beef, onion, and tomato in layers. Top off with crushed tortilla chips, shredded cheese, and salsa. Serve with fat free sour cream. MOVE OVER TACO BELL©!Hint:
Dipping a fork in sour cream or salad dressing before spearing the food can make a little go a long way!The lazy cook alternative:
Instead of making your own chips, break up 1 oz. WOW!® Tortilla or Doritos chips into small pieces and sprinkle over salad. This is very high sodium method and is not recommended unless you are truly in a time crunch. WE WARNED YOU!
