Lean Turkey Taco Salad Bowls with Smokin Salsa

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Pull out food processor or blender.

Wash half a head of romaine lettuce, 1/4 head of red leaf lettuce, 2 vine ripened tomatoes, and 3 stalks of green onion. Chop the romaine and the red leaf lettuce, place in a mixing bowl. Dice the tomatoes and chop the green onion, add to the lettuce. Sprinkle with black pepper and mix together, place in fridge.

Take 2 wheat tortillas, spray one side with Pam, place them into individual bowls and add a weight of some sort to the middle (I used and coffee cup), this will create the bowl for the salad. Place into the oven and cook for 10 -15 minutes. Once edges are brown remove from bowl and place tortilla on the rack and cook for 3-5 minutes (check regularly so that the tortilla does not burn). Once done place on plate.

Fill a medium size pan half way with water and place on stove set temperature to high.
Once the water begins to boil add 4 jalapenos with the stems removed. Boil until jalapeno's color has changed to a dull green.

Place a large skillet on stove set temp to medium high. Once hot add package of lean ground turkey and cook until the meat is brown 7-10 minutes. Add 1 tsp garlic salt and pepper and salt to taste.

Once jalapenos are done add to blender , add 1 large can whole peeled tomatoes, and 3 garlic cloves. Blend by using the ice crush button. Once blended add salt to taste (the salsa will be slightly warm which is exactly want we want).

Portions:

Male: 1 tortilla bowl with 2 cups lettuce mixture, 5oz turkey meat, 1/4 cup low fat shredded cheese, and 2-3 tbsp salsa (depending on how hot the salsa came out).

Female: :1 tortilla bowl with 1 cup lettuce mixture, 2oz turkey meat, 1 tbsp low fat shredded cheese, and 2-3 tbsp salsa (depending on how hot the salsa came out).

If desired some low fat ranch can be added, 2 tbsp for male and 1 tbsp for female.

Hey all, sorry I was out on a Monday but trust me I had no din din last night. Hope the taco salad hits the spot, I know it did for me!
