Vegetarian Taco Salad image

Such a simple meal and such a great taste! The fresh and tangy blend is wonderful by itself or with whatever additions you have on hand. Check your refrigerator for tomatoes, bell peppers, chiles, or corn to add to this versatile salad.

Yield serves 4, 3 cups per serving

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 15-ounce can no-salt-added black beans, rinsed and drained
1/4 to 1/2 cup salsa and 1/4 to 1/2 cup salsa (lowest sodium available), divided use
8 cups chopped lettuce
8 ounces baked tortilla chips (lowest sodium available) (about 2 1/2 cups), slightly crushed
3/4 to 1 cup shredded fat-free Cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese (3 to 4 ounces)
1/4 cup low-fat sour cream

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, stir together the beans with 1/4 to 1/2 cup salsa. Mash slightly with a potato masher or fork.
  • To assemble, put the lettuce on plates. Sprinkle with the chips. Spread the bean mixture over each serving. Top with the Cheddar, remaining 1/4 to 1/2 cup salsa, and a dollop of sour cream.
  • If you have 10 extra minutes, make Mexican Bean Dip (page 39) and use 1 cup of it instead of the canned black beans.
