The big difference between this taco salad and so many high-calorie alternatives is that this one lacks that ridiculously fatty tortilla shell. Good riddance to that! By the way, this salad tastes great with salsa!

Ingredients

3 cups chopped romaine lettuce

cup low-fat veggie chili

¼ cup chopped tomatoes

¼ cup shredded fat-free cheddar cheese

2 tablespoons fat-free sour cream

1 tablespoon chopped or sliced black olives

6 baked tortilla chips, crushed

¼ teaspoon taco seasoning mix, dry

Directions

Prepare chili as directed on package. Set aside.

Place lettuce in a large bowl. Top with tomatoes. Add chili and cheese.

Top with olives and sour cream. Then finish off by adding crushed tortilla chips and sprinkling taco seasoning on top.
