You get two tasty tacos in a serving. Add your own touch with fresh chopped cilantro, scallions or tomatoes.

Ingredients

Garlic clove(s)

2 clove(s), medium, minced

Uncooked 93% lean ground beef

¾ pound(s)

Ground cumin

1½ tsp(s), or other brand

Ground coriander

1½ tsp(s)

Table salt

¾ cup(s), or to taste

Canned diced tomatoes

1½ cup(s), with jalapenos or green chilies

Lettuce

2 cup(s), chopped, shredded

Low-fat shredded cheddar cheese

½ cup(s), sharp-variety

Fat free salsa

⅓ cup(s)

Instructions

  1. Coat a large skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium-high heat. Add garlic; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add beef; cook until browned, breaking up meat as it cooks, about 5 to 6 minutes. Add cumin, coriander, salt and diced tomatoes; cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid is almost absorbed, about 5 to 6 minutes.
  2. Place tortillas on a flat surface. Top each with about 1/4 cup beef, 1/4 cup lettuce, 1 tablespoon cheese and 2 teaspoons salsa. Fold tortillas in half and serve. Yields 2 tacos per serving.

Notes

*To toast tortillas, coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Place tortillas on top and coat with cooking spray. Heat in a 300°F oven until slightly crisp but not too crisp that they break when folded.
