My friends and I love Mexican food, but we try to eat healthy. My mom taught me how to make this tasty taco salad for my friends. —Matthew Smith, Knippa, Texas

Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)
  • 1 envelope reduced-sodium taco seasoning
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 1 can (15 ounces) Ranch Style beans (pinto beans in seasoned tomato sauce)
  • 1 head iceberg lettuce, chopped (about 8 cups)
  • 1 cup shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 large tomato, chopped
  • 2 cups corn chips
  • 1/2 cup Catalina salad dressing

Directions

  1. In a large skillet, cook and crumble beef over medium heat until no longer pink, 6-8 minutes; drain. Stir in taco seasoning, water and beans; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until thickened, 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  2. Serve remaining ingredients in separate bowls; add as desired.
Test Kitchen tips
  • Try this salad over tortilla chips instead of corn chips.
  • For a hearty appetizer, arrange the salad on one large serving platter and serve with extra chips.
    • Health Tip: Add more veggies, swap spinach for iceberg lettuce, skip the cheese and top with a few crunchy chips for a healthier form of this indulgent salad.
