No need to dodge this favorite anymore! By baking your own taco chips, and using pre-cooked chicken, you shave off the calories and save time.

Ingredients

  • 4 sprays olive oil cooking spray
  • 8 medium corn tortilla(s), cut into 4 wedges each
  • 1/2 tsp table salt
  • 4 cup romaine lettuce, shredded
  • 1 pound chicken breast, cooked, skinless, shredded
  • 1 cup tomato(es), diced
  • 1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat Mexican-style cheese
  • 1/2 cup fat-free sour cream
  • 1/4 cup salsa
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin, or Adobo seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp hot pepper sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400ºF. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.

  • Arrange tortillas on baking sheet; spray tortillas with cooking spray and sprinkle with salt. Bake until golden, about 10 minutes.

  • Arrange tortillas in bottom and up sides of 4 salad bowls. Place 1/4 of lettuce, chicken, tomatoes and cheese in each bowl.

  • In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, salsa, cumin and pepper sauce. Drizzle about 3 tablespoons dressing over each salad.

Notes

  • This recipe is well-spiced but if you really want to turn up the heat, add a few dashes of hot pepper sauce.

Chef Tips

  • We renovated Chicken Taco Salad by:
    • Baking the tortillas instead of using fried shells.

    • Using fat-free sour cream instead of the full-fat variety.

    • Substituting reduced-fat shredded cheese for regular.

Congratulations! 10 pounds is wonderful! Men losing weight faster has to do with their metabolism. Blame it on our screwed up hormones. Not fair, but life ain't either. We can stil make them fall to their knees though!

Keep it up - you are helping me along too!

im with you about men losing it way faster than women...but sorry...no sympathy for the girl who lost 10 lbs in 2 weeks! that is incredible! you should be soo pround. men just have more muscle...plus with men weight loss isn't as emotional/mental as it is for women...at least that's what i tell myself.
