TACO SALAD (LIGHT AND HEALTHY)
I love taco salad, but it can be very high in fat and salt. Use the leanest ground beef you can find. Combining the beef with water keeps the crumbles nice and small as it cooks. This is also delicious substituting lean ground turkey for the beef. Reduce or increase jalepeno and cayenne to suit your taste.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375°F
- Place ovenproof bowls upside down on a rimmed cookie sheet. Spray bowls with non-stick. Place 1 tortilla on each bowl. Gently press tortilla to bowl. Spray tortillas lightly with non-stick. Bake 8 to 12 minutes, until tortillas are barely brown and starting to crisp. Remove to wire rack to cool.
- While tortillas are baking, place beef and 1 cup water in a large non-stick skillet or dutch oven. Stir until beef has absorbed all water evenly.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until beef is cooked. Drain. Chop the salad ingredients while the meat is cooking and set aside.
- Add remaining 1/4 cup water, chili powder, cumin, cayenne, garlic powder, seasoned salt, beans, jalepeno and tomato sauce to skillet.
- Cook until liquid thickens, about 5 minutes.
- Combine lettuce, tomatoes, scallions, cucumber and cilantro and toss well.

LIGHT TACO SALAD
Taco Salad is a delicious and thoroughly satisfying meal. Ground turkey stands in for beef; nonfat yogurt laced with lime juice, jalapeno, and cilantro makes a creamy dressing, while fresh mango slices add a splash of color.

Steps:
- Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil over high heat. Add corn, and reduce heat to medium; simmer until kernels are tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer corn to a plate; let cool. Slice kernels off cobs; place in a small bowl, and set aside (you should have about 1 1/4 cups).
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread tortilla wedges in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet; bake until crisp, turning once, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven; let cool, and set aside.
- Make the dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together yogurt, juice from 1 lime, cilantro, jalapeno, and salt. Set aside.
- In a medium nonstick skillet, brown turkey over medium heat, stirring frequently, until no longer pink, about 7 minutes. Stir in chili powder, cumin, and juice from remaining lime.
- Transfer mixture to a large serving bowl. Add lettuce, beans, tomatoes, onion, mango, and reserved corn and tortillas. Toss to combine well. Drizzle with yogurt dressing; serve immediately.
