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.

Quick and easy and delish too. My family really enjoyed it. Didn't have salsa, so used picante sauce instead.

what a gr8 idea! i always prefer flour tortillas over corn. was hard not to burn the tortilla & it got stuck to the bowl, even tho I sprayed it first. be careful u don't burn urself trying to remove it!

Loved it. My husband (very picky) loved it, especially the crunchy shells. The light ranch tastes great on it. Also did a veggie version with just kidney beans, still excellent.

I took a previous suggestion and used foil cupcake holders instead of foil balls. The tortillas taste great baked. Loved them! Made my own season blend and skipped the beans. Great!

This is a perfect after work, quick meal that leaves you filled, but not full! I switched out the beef for chicken and my husband (pickiest eater ever) loved it! I like to mix a little bit of light sour cream and the light ranch for a fun topping. Also...rather than waste tin foil, I like to use small ceramic brule dishes to shape the tortillas. They make great "bowls!" We love this dinner!

I also used pyrex dishes to drape the tortillas. No wasted foil. Good presentation too! The receipe tasted great and the beans made it extra healthy, as well as tasty. We really enjoyed it!

I make this using Kraft Fat Free Cheddar Cheese and the Fat Free Ranch dressing. It tastes great!

So easy and so yummy! I love that I could make my own taco shell bowls. The bowls added a great flavor too.
