     This receipe can be modified, try black beans and eliminate the mean. Black beans have protien, and dont use sour cream use fat free greek yogurt which is nice an thick and taste great. Use romaine lettuce instead of iceburg, add cliantro, fresh salsa add avocado as well. Deduct the chips. - 4/2/09

     The recipe sets up the idea and then you can customize to your taste. I exchanged the iceberg for romaine; the sour cream for non fat yogurt; toasted a corn tortilla instead of chips. it was so quick and delicious - 4/29/09

     This was so very good. I try to eat 5 small meals a day so I freezed it in 10 small baggies and it freezes very well. I just put it over a small bed of lettuce and no chips. It doesn't need them...it's so flavorful. - 1/13/10

     I really enjoyed this! The sweet corn is something I wouldn't have thought of. I finally felt like I was eating "real" food, but without having to cheat. I even added this to my Favorite foods in my Nutrition menu! - 2/10/09

     Sounds delicious but will use a lot more lettuce and tomatoes to make it more filling without a lot of extra calories. Thanks!! - 1/4/09

     Confusing calorie count and serving numbers!!??? Only 1 cup of lettuce and 6 tbsp for 10 servings?? Doesn't calculate or make sense? - 7/10/11

     I would love to try this. I'm a little confused though. It says 10 servings but only 6 Tblsp sour cream, but each serving calls for 1 Tblsp. So Will the calories be off? - 1/26/09

     I added black olives to mine and skipped the beans and corn, very good. We added the taco sauce to the salad instead of just the meat. - 9/29/16
  • DOUGRICKETTS
     Much more filling than a half cup portion would suggest. I use Doritos instead of "light tortilla chips" because Awesome. - 9/10/16

     Usually put the beans and corn in cold, so it was a nice change to heat them with the meat and add the cheese to melt. Added avocado, used fresh made pico de gallo, romaine lettuce and did not use any type of sour cream. Very tasty and will make again. - 7/24/15

     I made this tonight for my family. I made it exactly according to the directions. The whole family loved it. - 2/9/14

     Nice alternative version of a Taco Salad. It was very good. I could see using black beans instead of pinto beans or even forgoing the lettuce and use the whole wheat scoops. I made a double batch for leftovers for work lunches and dinners. - 2/17/13
