Taco Salad - First Try

Taco Salad

Ingredients:
7 oz of 99% fat free lean ground turkey - should yield 5.25 oz (3/4 Lean)
2 tsp low sodium taco seasoning mix (3 Condiments)
2 tbsp water
2 cups lettuce, chopped (2 Green)
1/2 cup tomatoes, chopped (1 Green)
1 oz or 1/4 cup 2% reduced fat Mexican Cheese (1/4 Lean)
2 tbsp Hidden Valley Light Ranch Dressing (1 Healthy Fat)


Directions:
Brown ground beef in a skillet. (Obviously this recipe was adapted from beef and changed to turkey, because there was nothing to drain and I need way more water so the seasoning mix would blend with the meat.) Drain the fat and return to the pan. Stir in the water and taco seasoning mix. Simmer for about 5 minutes. Serve meat over lettuce and tomatoes. Sprinkle with cheese and add the salad dressing. Enjoy!
