Ingredients:
4 serving olive oil cooking spray (5 one-second sprays per serving)

8 medium corn tortilla(s), cut into 4 wedges each

1/2 tsp table salt

4 cup romaine lettuce, shredded

1 pound chicken breast, cooked, skinless, shredded

1 cup tomato(es), diced

1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat Mexican cheese

1/2 cup fat-free sour cream

1/4 cup salsa

1/2 tsp ground cumin, or Adobo seasoning

1/2 tsp hot pepper sauce

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400ºF. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.

Arrange tortillas on baking sheet; spray tortillas with cooking spray and sprinkle with salt. Bake until golden, about 10 minutes.

Arrange tortillas in bottom and up sides of 4 salad bowls. Place 1/4 of lettuce, chicken, tomatoes and cheese in each bowl.

In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, salsa, cumin and pepper sauce. Drizzle about 3 tablespoons dressing over each salad.

CHEF TIPS:
We renovated Chicken Taco Salad by:

Baking the tortillas instead of using fried shells.

Using fat-free sour cream instead of the full-fat variety.

Substituting reduced-fat shredded cheese for regular.
