Healthier Taco Salad image

I created this dish so the kids could still enjoy one of their favorite foods, but with less fat and salt. It passed their taste-test with flying colors! Leftovers are great for school lunches.

Time 35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 pounds lean ground beef
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 ½ cups low-sodium tomato juice
2 tablespoons hot pepper sauce (such as Frank's RedHot®)
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 (14.5 ounce) package baked tortilla chips, or to taste
1 cup shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese, or to taste
⅓ head iceberg lettuce, shredded, or to taste
1 cup salsa, or to taste

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir beef and onion in the hot skillet until beef is no longer pink, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease, and return beef to the skillet. Add tomato juice, hot sauce, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and cayenne pepper. Reduce heat and simmer gently, about 15 minutes.
  • Break tortilla chips into bowls and top with the ground beef mixture. Finish with Cheddar cheese, lettuce, and salsa.

I love this salad! It's so easy to make and it's always a hit with my family and friends. I usually add some black beans and corn to make it even heartier.

This taco salad was a hit with my family! The dressing was flavorful and creamy, and the salad was packed with fresh, crisp veggies. I also loved that I could use ground turkey instead of beef to make it a healthier option. Definitely a keeper!
