Spray cooking spray into two medium sized oven safe bowls - preferably with a flat bottom. Or if you have them, Taco shell pans. Place tortillas in microwave for 15-20 seconds to soften them. Push them into the bowl and form the shell. Bake the shells for 8-10 minutes or until crispy.
While meat browns, prepare the vegetables. Using a large mixing bowl, shred the lettuce leaves. About two leaves per serving. Add the chopped bell pepper and diced tomato. Toss and set aside. Drain and rinse the black beans and drain the sliced black olives. Set aside.
Place salad mixture into prepared taco baskets. Top with black beans. Add black olives around edges for garnish. Spoon taco meat on top of beans and top with cheese. Add salsa if desired.
Enjoy!
Optional: Use Ground Turkey instead of Beef to lower fat. Substitute your favorite veggies or add some spicy peppers for additional heat.
