Healthy, Delicious Taco Salad Bowls

I love taco salad!  This is a delicious meal!  But wow!  The calories packed into those fried taco bowls are unbelievable! In just the shell there are 310 calories and 18 g of fat!   A while back I discovered that these tortilla shells could be microwaved instead of deep fried.  They’re still flavorful and crispy without the guilt!

Take the tortilla and place it into a microwaveable bowl.  Press it in a bit so it will be the shape of the bowl.

Then pop it into the microwave for 45 seconds.  Turn the bowl and test to see if it’s done – it will crisp up more as it cools!  If it needs a little more time, microwave 15 more seconds.  Remove it from the bowl and let it cool.

I made up taco mixture with beef – you could also use ground turkey.  Add the taco seasoning. Here’s a great homemade Taco Seasoning.

Then simply add the lettuce, taco meat, tomatoes, cheese and sour cream to your shell.  You could crumble some tortilla chips on top for a little more crunch.  

This would make a super fast dinner.  You can do the shells ahead of time and place them in a Ziploc bag.  Make the meat mixture the night before.  Also have the vegetables cut up.  All you have to do to complete the meal is assemble the salads.
