What You Need

4 large whole wheat tortillas

3/4 lb. (340 g) extra-lean ground beef

1 Tbsp. chili powder

1 cup rinsed canned no-salt-added kidney beans

1/2 cup chunky salsa

4 cups loosely packed torn mixed salad greens

1/2 cup Kraft Tex Mex Light Shredded Cheese

1 large tomato, chopped

2 Tbsp. Kraft Calorie-Wise Rancher's Choice Dressing

Make It

HEAT oven to 425°F.

CRUMPLE 4 large 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.)

MEANWHILE, brown meat with chili powder in large nonstick skillet. Stir in beans and salsa; cook 5 min. or until heated through, stirring occasionally.

FILL tortilla shells with salad greens, meat mixture, cheese and tomatoes. Drizzle with dressing.

Makeover - How We Did It

We've taken a favourite recipe and made it over by using extra-lean ground beef, Kraft Calorie-Wise Rancher's Choice Dressing and Kraft Tex Mex Light Shredded Cheese instead of the full-fat products. In addition, the tortillas are baked, not fried. This saves a total of 186 calories and 18 grams of total fat, including 8 grams of saturated fat, per serving.

The shells were way cooked by 4 minutes. I found it very spicy.

Delicious! An easy, fast recipe that I will be making again. Be careful not to over cook the tortillas. I found five mins in the oven long enough. Also added some taco seasoning to the beef to jazz it up. Excellent quick meal for a busy night!

Was good, but, I made it with ground turkey the second time and I prefer it that way better.

Definitely a keeper in our house, it a full meal of it's own!

Quite enjoyable! I make up my own spice blend to put on the tortillas while they are baking. My family loves this and I love that the taco bowls are healthy!

Loved this recipe - even my boyfriend who hates salad. Added taco seasoning and can of corn to meat mixture. Delicious! Also mixed ranch and salsa together to make hacienda dressing to add on top.

I make the Tortilla shells by putting them in a casserole dish and baking each one individually...it takes only a few minutes. You can do this earlier in the day...no waste of foil and you don't need to add any extra calories with oil.
