Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large whole wheat tortillas
- as needed Cooking spray
- 4 cups Romaine lettuce, shredded
- 1 cup Black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup Corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen and thawed)
- 1 medium Avocado, diced
- 0.5 cup Reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 4 pieces Lime wedge
- 0.5 cup Salsa
- 0.25 cup Fat-free Greek yogurt
- 0.5 teaspoons Cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Chili powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly spray the tortillas on both sides with cooking spray. Place each tortilla into a medium-sized oven-safe bowl or drape over an upside-down ramekin to form a bowl shape.
Bake the tortillas for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the salsa, fat-free Greek yogurt, cumin powder, chili powder, and salt. Stir well to create a creamy dressing.
In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded romaine lettuce, black beans, cherry tomatoes, corn, avocado, and shredded cheddar cheese.
Add the dressing to the salad mixture and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
Divide the salad evenly among the tortilla bowls.
Garnish each salad with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro and serve with a lime wedge for squeezing on top.
