Taco Salad with Homemade Tortilla Bowl

I have shared this recipe before but it was part of a rather long post last year, so I thought I would share it again just as a stand alone recipe.

TACO SALAD BOWL

Ingredients: 

Extra Large Flour Tortillas

Pam none stick spray (I use canola)
1 pk Yellow Rice (I use Dixie Land because it has only 40mg Sodium content and I omit the additional salt the instructions tell you to add to boiling water)

1 pk Low Sodium Taco Mix (water and oil as per directions on pk)

1lb of ground beef (or you can sub ground turkey or even shredded chicken)

1/2 head of  Diced Lettuce (I used romaine for the one pictured because it is my fave)

1 or 2 fresh diced tomatoes

1/4 cup fresh cut green onion

shredded cheese (we like sharp cheddar)

Sour cream

Salsa of your choice

Pre-heat oven to 400F ... Invert small cereal bowls onto a cookie sheet (however many you want Tortilla bowls) Spray Tortillas with "Pam" front and back, drape one Tortilla per bowl...Place in oven and allow to cook for 15 minutes, or until golden around the edges...should give a nice hollow sound when tapped on.

Cook Yellow Rice as per packaging (again, I omit adding the salt)

Make the taco meat with the ground beef (or sub meat) according to packaging.

Assemble in this order:

Bowl, Rice, Lettuce, Meat, Cheese, Tomato and/or Salsa, Sour Cream, Green Onions.

You can add re-fried beans before the rice.... Avocado slices between the cheese and tomato or on the side.
