Taco Salad Wraps, Oh yeah.


Ya'll these are so good, I have to force myself not to make them once a week so we don't burn out on them. I once came across a recipe for a Mexican Lasagna and Danny & I loved it sooooo much, I literally made it once a week for months...now the mere mention of it makes me queasy...sad too, it was such a good meal :(

This is quick and easy! But tastes oh so yummo!

Taco Salad Wraps:

Ingredients~

1/2 pound lean hamburger meat
2/3 cup salsa (I use my super secret homemade recipe )
1 can mild chili beans
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons chili powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
pepper to taste
flour tortillas ( I use whole wheat)
shredded lettuce
chopped tomato
shredded cheddar
extra salsa for topping
could also use crushed tortilla chips for topping, I go without :)

If you are using homemade salsa, make prior. I usually make it the day before so all the goodness has time to mix and develop.

In a small skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain.
Stir in the salsa, beans, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, chili powder, garlic powder and pepper. Bring to boil; reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered for 5 minutes.
Spoon meat mixture onto warmed tortilla. Layer with lettuce, tomato, cheese, crushed tortilla chips, salsa, etc. Roll up and savor the moment :)

Serve chips and salsa on the side.

This makes enough meat mixture for about 4-5 wraps.

And if you skip the sour cream and allow only a small amount of cheese, the calorie intake is 345 a wrap. I eat one and am totally satisfied with out overdoing my daily calorie intake....win win!
Enjoy!
