This Mexican-style salad tastes just like in the restaurants. For a lower fat version, use ground turkey and top with reduced fat cheese and sour cream.

Makes 8 (1-cup) servings.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 12 minutes

INGREDIENTS

1 package McCormick® Salsa Seasoning Mix

3 cups chopped tomatoes, divided

3/4 cup sour cream

1 pound ground beef or turkey

1 package McCormick® Taco Seasoning Mix

1 head iceberg lettuce, shredded (about 8 cups)

3/4 cup water

Tortilla chips (optional)

1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

DIRECTIONS

1. Prepare salsa as directed on package, using 2 cups of the tomatoes. Stir in sour cream. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

 

2. Brown meat in large skillet on medium-high heat. Drain fat. Stir in Seasoning Mix and water. Simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

 

3. For each serving, layer 1 cup shredded lettuce, 1/4 cup beef mixture, and 2 tablespoons each tomatoes and cheese. Top with 1/4 cup salsa mixture. Or, layer ingredients on a serving platter. Serve with tortilla chips, if desired.
