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® Thick & 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.

Fun dish for company to make their own...right off the buffet. I also serve chili out of these "bowls". For the little kids I use the smaller tortilla shells or refrigerator bisquits. Flip a cupcake tin over...spray bottoms of the cups with Pam and flatten the bisquit over the cups...bake until brown. The kids love it!!!

I make this recipe often, but instead of using salsa in the meat and bean mixture and salad dressing, I make a salsa topping with tomatoes, onion, cilantro, and lemon juice. I also substitute ground turkey for ground beef.

I was pleasantly surprised at how good this tasted, even my kids loved it, except for the lettuce part. I made spanish rice and put it in the tortilla bowl under the beef, it made it go a lot further and there was enough for lunch the next day. I can't wait to make this again.
