Taco Salad Made Over

  • 4

Ingredients

  • 4 flour tortillas (8 inch)
  • 3/4 lb. extra lean ground beef
  • 1 Tbsp. chili powder
  • 1 cup drained canned kidney beans, rinsed, well drained
  • 1/2 cup TACO BELL® HOME ORIGINALS® Thick 'N Chunky Salsa
  • 4 cups torn mixed salad greens
  • 1/2 cup KRAFT 2% Milk Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
  • 1 large tomato, chopped
  • 2 Tbsp. KRAFT Light Ranch Dressing

Preparation

Step 1

HEAT oven to 425°F. Crumple 4 large sheets of foil to make 4 (3-inch) balls; place on baking sheet. Top each ball with 1 tortilla; spray with cooking spray. Bake 6 to 8 min. or until tortillas are golden brown. (Tortillas will drape over balls as they bake.)

MEANWHILE, brown meat with chili powder in large nonstick skillet. Stir in beans and salsa; cook until heated through, stirring occasionally.

FILL tortilla shells with salad greens, meat mixture, cheese and tomatoes. Drizzle with dressing.
