One of my favorite quick weeknight meals is a flavorful taco salad packed with spicy ground beef, beans, corn, cheese, crunchy tortillas, and all the fixings. This simple recipe comes together in a flash and will satisfy any taco cravings without the guilt. I almost always double the recipe for leftovers. Just pack the meat, beans, and corn in a separate container so the salad doesn’t get soggy. You could also wrap the filling inside the tortilla for a healthy burrito if you prefer.

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Place tortillas directly on the oven racks and cook for 6-10 minutes until toasted.
Brown the beef in a skillet over medium high heat.
Meanwhile whisk together all of the spices to make your taco seasoning. Once the beef is browned, add the seasoning to the beef along with 2/3 cup water. Simmer for five minutes. Set aside.
Toss everything together or create four individual salads. Each one should half ¼ of the beef (4 oz., about ½ cup), ¼ cup corn, ¼ cup beans, 1 tbsp. cilantro, 1 tbsp. cheese, and veggies. Serve with crumbled baked tortillas.
