Taco Salad

My mother started making these salads for me since I was about 10 years old. It is very easy to make, light in calories depending on how much cheese and sour cream you use. I love making them in the summer because it gets so hot and I don't want to turn my oven on. However, I also love making them in the winter.

Ingredients

1 bag Tostitos tortilla chips (I like the rounds)
shredded cheddar cheese
chopped Iceberg or Romain lettuce
salsa
sour cream
1 15 oz can Hormel Turkey chili
1 lb ground turkey
chopped scallions

Directions

In a large skillet brown ground turkey. Once it is cooked through add 1 can of your favorite chili. I use turkey chili because it has less fat. I tried the vegetarian but it wasn't as tasty. While that is cooking Line the bottom of your plate with tortilla chips (about 15 of them). Add shredded cheese. You can add just a little cheese if you are cutting back on calories or add none at all. Melt the cheese in the microwave for about 45 seconds. Then layer with ground turkey, chopped lettuce, shredded cheese, scallions, salsa, and sour cream (you can use Greek yogurt).

Let me know what you think. Sometimes I add pickled jalapenos on the top. You can add or take away anything you prefer. I promise it will become a staple in your home once you try it.
