Low Calorie Taco Salad in a tortilla Bowl

Save calories by omitting the Sour Cream.   I didn’t have the best of luck with the bowl turning crisp.  It was edible but not the same as the nice crunchy goodness of a fried tortilla bowl

Ingredients:
La Tortilla Factory, Large Original Low Carb Tortilla
Lettuce , 2 cups
Morningstar Farms or Boca crumbles- 1/3 Cup
Kraft Fat Free Natural Cheddar Cheese, shredded- 2 TBS
Taco Seasoning Mix - 1/2 tsp
Chunky salsa - 2 tbsp
Fat Free Sour Cream 1 tbsp

Directions
"Preheat Oven to 425

Spray a small round casserole dish with nonstick spray. Gently push tortilla into the dish, so that the sides of the tortilla fold in and rest along the sides of the dish. The tortilla should take on a bowl or "shell" shape.

Bake tortilla bowl in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes, until crispy. Set aside until cool.

Place soy crumbles in small microwave-safe dish and cover with taco seasoning mix. Microwave for 30 seconds, then stir well. Microwave for an additional 10 to 20 seconds.

Fill the tortilla "shell" with lettuce and top with seasoned soy crumbles. Sprinkle cheese on top. Finish with salsa and sour cream. "

I like to prepare everything while the shell cooks, fill the shell then put it back in the oven for like a minute for the cheese to melt a little and everything gets a little warm.
