Taco Salad Bowls

It's Taco night! Wanna spice it up a little ? Try this recipe- you even make your own edible salad bowls! Found this one in the Kraft Food & Family magazine- I'm a fan :-)

Taco Salad Bowls-
  you'll need :  4 flour tortillas (8 inch), 1 Tbsp. chili powder( divided), 3/4 lb. extra-lean ground beef ,1 cup  carrot sticks, 1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp. salsa , 2 tbsp. light Mayonnaise, 4 cups torn salad greens ,1 large tomato (chopped),  1/2 cup  Mexican Style 2% Milk Finely Shredded Four Cheese, 1/4 cup chopped  cilantro.

* Heat oven to 425 degrees. CRUMPLE 4 large sheets of foil to make 4 (3-inch) balls; place on baking sheet. Place 1 tortilla over each ball; spray with cooking spray. Sprinkle with 1/2 tsp. chili powder. Bake 6 to 8 min. or until tortillas are golden brown. (Tortillas will drape over balls as they bake.)

Meanwhile, brown meat with carrots and remaining chili powder in large nonstick skillet on medium heat, stirring occasionally. Add 1/2 cup salsa; cook 2 min. or until heated through, stirring occasionally.
Mix mayo and remaining salsa in large bowl. Add salad greens and tomatoes; toss to coat. Fill shells with greens mixture, meat mixture, cheese, and cilantro.

Try this with a Margarita ;-)

Enjoy!
