HUGE, FILLING, 4pt. Taco Salad!

  • I made a sald the other day that was wonderful! I shredded up some spinach and lettuce in a bowl and then for a dressing, this is what I used:
    half a can of whole kernal corn
    half a can of red kidney beans
    1 can of green enchalada sauce
    3 tablespoons of chuncky picante salsa
    1 tsp. chili powder
    1/2 tsp. onion powder
    a little garlic salt and pepper
    and a little lime or lemon juice for added tang

    I mix this all up and pour over my lettuce, top with slices of tomato, sliced olives, and a dolip of FF sour cream. If you want a reall treat for a meal, you can take a FF/low carb tortilla, spray the inside of a microwavable bowl with butter flavored cooking spray, place the tortilla inside the bowl, then spray the tortilla with the spray, then place another bowl inside the tortilla so it fits snuggly between the bowls. Pop it in the microwave for 1 minute or until it is stiff and crunchy, but not burned. Now, put some FF refried beans on the bottom of your crunchy tortilla bowl, sprinkly with zucchini that has been sauted in onions and garlic and bell peppers, sprinkle with lettuce and then the corn and bean salsa mix, tomatoes, olives, FF cheese, and FF sour cream. These things are VERY filling!!! One will definately be enough to fill up almost anyone! And the whole thing is only 4 pts! It makes a great taco salad for dinner. I served it to my DH the other night and didn't tell him that it was fat free (he doesn't do any kind of diet... hes a firefighter and has a matabalism that would make you want to strangle him! lol) and he ended up eating 2 helpings before I told him that it was a healthy dinner. He now requests it regularly! Enjoy!
  • You are a GENIUS with the bowl idea! thanks!
