Comments

"Our preference is to lay down layer of tortilla chips, pile on taco meat, followed by shredded cheese (so that it melts). Then, pile on everything else (all of the toppings) followed by the dressing and salsa. then mix it all up!" (Healthy Recipe Mom, Becca)

 

The Kid Kritics loved this recipe and called it a "Taco Sundae" so we added that to the name.

Equipment

10 inch skillet

Prep Time

5 minutes

Cook Time

15 minutes

Number of Servings

4 or more depending on ages

Instructions

  1. 1 Tbs olive oil

    Heat over medium heat in skillet.
  2. 1 lb Ground Turkey (Plainville Farms)

  3. 1 small onion, diced

    Add to skillet and cook, stirring until turkey is browned.
  4. 1 pkg Southwest Taco Seasoning Mix (Simply Organic)

    Add to skillet and simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  5. Corn or whole grain tortilla chips

    Place on the bottom of serving dish(es) and top with ground turkey mixture.
  6. 1 cup reduced fat cheddar cheese (white), shredded

    Add on top of warm turkey mixture so it melts!
  7. 1 (15 oz) can kidney beans, drained and rinsed

  8. 1 tomato, chopped

  9. 3/4 cup mild salsa

  10. 1 avocado, sliced

    Add the rest of the ingredients and serve. It's fun to let everyone put together their own "sundae" so you can serve all of the ingredients separately or arrange it all and serve on a platter. Either way, it's sure to be a hit!

Options

Pile your Taco Salad Sundae on top of a bed of lettuce!  If you prefer not to have your cheese melted, sprinkle it top of the "sundae" instead of on the warm turkey mixture.  Add some fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime for a flavor boost and some extra nutrients.  If your family prefers spicier foods, add a dash of two of cayenne to the turkey mixture.
