Preparation
- In 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add turkey; cook and stir 5 to 7 minutes or until thoroughly cooked. Drain. Stir in taco seasoning mix and water; heat to boiling. Reduce heat; simmer uncovered 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until thickened.
- Divide lettuce among serving bowls. Top with turkey mixture and remaining ingredients.
Expert Tips
- Leftover salad makes a great lunch the next day. Keep all the ingredients, except for the tortilla chips, stored in the refrigerator until ready to eat. Store the taco meat separately, and reheat just before assembling.
- For a little extra heat, top the salad with a few chopped, pickled jalapeños.
- Substitute Old El Paso™ Shredded 3 Pepper Blend Cheese for Old El Paso™ Shredded Mexican Style 4 Cheese Blend, if desired.
