Vegetarian Taco Salad

TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 25 min. YIELD: 4 servings.
The cute tortilla bowls that hold this Southwestern salad are a snap to bake int the oven. We use canned beans that include hot spices to punch up the flavor. —Susan LeBrun of Sulphur, Louisiana

  • 6 cups shredded romaine
  • 1/2 cup canned pinto beans, rinsed and drained
