What You Need

flour tortillas (8 inch)

3/4

lb. extra-lean ground beef

Tbsp. chili powder

cup rinsed canned kidney beans

1/2

cup TACO BELL® HOME ORIGINALS® Thick 'N Chunky Salsa

cups packed torn mixed salad greens

1/2

cup KRAFT 2% Milk Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese

large tomato, chopped

Tbsp. KRAFT Lite Ranch Dressing

Make It

HEAT oven to 425°F.

CRUMPLE 4 sheets of foil to make 4 (3-inch) balls; place on baking sheet. Top each 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 to form shells.)

MEANWHILE, brown meat with chili powder in large nonstick skillet. Stir in beans and salsa; cook 3 to 5 min. or until heated through, stirring occasionally.

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

I've been looking for recipe to make taco salad in tortilla bowl. This is great, I used empty can instead crumble foil it turn out great. I improvised the recipes, used chicken, and anything in my refrigerator, the family loved it.

Excellent!! I like to experiment with new recipes, and even my male roommate loved it, he didn't care that it was just a salad. Very tasty and filling!

This method for making the shells worked perfectly. Make sure, as others have said, to flatten the top of the ball to make the bottom of the shell flat and able to stand on it's own. Tasty and portion controlled. Really liked this.

This recipe was a nice variation from my usual family size taco salad I make for my family. However, I suggest using store bought taco salad "bowls". The homemade baked ones from the recipe came out too chewy and hard to break apart even though they feel crispy on the outside

I really enjoyed this recipe. I made it with kidney and black beans though. My family thought it was ok but a little too spicey. I used med. salsa and the whole TBSP chili powder. Will probably use less chili powder next time.
