Free the Taco Salad

 
1/2 head Iceberg lettuce shredded or chopped into bite-size pieces
1 tomato
2-3 mini sweet peppers all colors
1/2 Green Bell Pepper
1/4 lb. 93% or greater Lean Ground Beef (Cooked beans are a great Vegetarian substitute for the beef)
1 - 1 1/2 TBSP Taco Seasoning (I use the bulk Winco kind)
1/2 C. Sharp Cheddar Cheese Shredded (Tilamook is my favorite)
Salsa (my favorite is Pace Chunky Salsa - Mild)
Low Fat Cilantro Ranch Dressing

Brown the beef and drain any extra fat by swishing a paper towel around in the meat or using a colander. Add the seasoning to the beef and if it's too dry add about one tsp. water. Allow to cool slightly.

Layer Salad in a bowl as follows:
Lettuce
Peppers
Meat/Beans
Cheese
Salsa
Dressing

Then Eat it!

This is called "Free the Taco Salad" because it is taco salad without the added fat and sodium from chips or a taco shell.
