Drain any excess fat from the skillet and return it to the heat.
Add the salt-free taco seasoning and 1 cup of water. Stir well and let simmer for 2-3 minutes or until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat.
Carefully open the individual low sodium tortilla chip bags by slicing the top open lengthwise or cutting a slit down the side for easier access.
Spoon some of the cooked taco meat directly into each bag of tortilla chips.
Top the meat with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded low sodium cheddar cheese, a dollop of plain Greek yogurt, and diced avocado.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve each bag with a lime wedge for squeezing on top.
