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.

This was very good. I used black beans instead of kidney beans, and added cilantro while they were cooking. I also used porcelin ramekins (custard dishes) instead of tin foil, and the tortilla bowls came out perfect. I added olives and onions and used grilled chicken instead of beef. Even though I love ranch on everything, I found I didnt really even need it, just some salsa on top and maybe sour cream if I had some. Delicious!

This recipe was GREAT after a few changes. I used taco seasoning, added black beans, corn and red onions. I used Mexican cheese, wheat tortillas and ground turkey. I also mixed sour cream ranch dressing together. I will make again.

It is very good. I choose to use lean ground turkey and whole grain tortillias.

This was a delicious and easy taco salad. It was much different from the one I usually make, but we really enjoyed it.

It could've been a little more spicy, but all in all, it had a really great flavor! We made it without the Kidney Beans, and my husband and I LOVED it!

MADE MY OWN SHELLS & WILL NEVER BUY PRE-MADE ONES AGAIN. I TOOK THE ADVICE OF SOMEONE ELSE & DID NOT USE FOIL BUT RATHER SOME SMALL BOWLS THAT CAN TAKE THE HEAT OF THE OVEN AND THEY TURNED OUT AWESOME!! I WAS LOOKING FOR AN EASY WAY TO MAKE MY OWN SALAD BOWLS & THIS IS IT.

I made this with black beans, corn, mushrooms, onion, and fire roasted diced tomatoes! I used small amount of olive oil on the flour tortillas and used whole grain ones. They were very good. My husband has requested this many times now.

Instead of making a foil ball I used a empty 13oz chicken can and it worked great. The bowl slipped right off the can. A tuna fish can is to short. I have made this recipe often. <<< Response from Kraft Kitchens Expert, Wendy ~ Thank you for the suggestion. If using a can, be sure to wash it thoroughly with hot soapy water and make sure there is no glue residue remaining. >>>
