Taco Salad Bowls

We made these for Cinco de Mayo tonight and I meant to take a picture, but forgot. Next time! These bowls add a little style and personality to your dinner table and are so easy. Serves 4.

4 flour tortillas (8 in)
1 T chili powder, divided (though you can also just eyeball it)
1 lb ground beef
3/4 cup chunky salsa, divided
2 T light mayo
4 c. torn salad greens
1 large tomato, chopped
1/2 cup cheese (cheddar or four cheese work great)
1/4 c. chopped fresh cilantro

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Crumble 4 large sheets of foil to make four 3-inch balls; place on baking sheet. Place 1 tortilla on each ball; spray tortilla with cooking spray and sprinkle with 1/2 t. of the chili powder. Bake 6-8 minutes, until golden brown.

Brown meat with remaining chili powder in skillet on med-high heat, stirring occasionally. Add 1/2 c. of the salsa; cook 2 min., or until heated through.

Mix mayo and remaining salsa in bowl. Add salad greens and chopped tomatoes, toss to coat. Spoon into tortilla shells; top with meat mixture, cheese and cilantro. Yummy and easy!
