No need to dodge this favorite anymore! By baking your own taco chips, and using pre-cooked chicken, you shave off the calories and save time.
 

Ingredients

4 spray(s) olive oil cooking spray   
8 medium corn tortilla(s), cut into 4 wedges each   
1/2 tsp table salt   
4 cup(s) romaine lettuce, shredded   
1 pound(s) chicken breast, cooked, skinless, shredded   
1 cup(s) tomato(es), diced   
1/2 cup(s) shredded reduced-fat Mexican-style cheese   
1/2 cup(s) fat-free sour cream   
1/4 cup(s) salsa   
1/2 tsp ground cumin, or Adobo seasoning   
1/2 tsp hot pepper sauce   

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400ºF. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.

  • Arrange tortillas on baking sheet; spray tortillas with cooking spray and sprinkle with salt. Bake until golden, about 10 minutes.

  • Arrange tortillas in bottom and up sides of 4 salad bowls. Place 1/4 of lettuce, chicken, tomatoes and cheese in each bowl.

  • In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, salsa, cumin and pepper sauce. Drizzle about 3 tablespoons dressing over each salad.

Notes

  • This recipe is well-spiced but if you really want to turn up the heat, add a few dashes of hot pepper sauce.

Chef Tips

  • We renovated Chicken Taco Salad by:
    • Baking the tortillas instead of using fried shells.

    • Using fat-free sour cream instead of the full-fat variety.

    • Substituting reduced-fat shredded cheese for regular.
