Instructions:
- Cook the Ground Meat: Heat the olive oil (if using) in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 2-3 minutes. Add the ground turkey or beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Stir in the taco seasoning and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Prepare the Salad Base: In a large bowl or serving platter, layer the shredded iceberg and romaine lettuce as your base.
- Layer the Salad: On top of the lettuce, layer the cooked ground meat, diced tomatoes, black olives, shredded cheddar cheese, diced red onion, and avocado (if using).
- Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, mix together the non-fat Greek yogurt, salsa, lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth.
- Add Doritos Crunch: Just before serving, sprinkle the crushed reduced-fat Doritos over the salad for that signature crunch.
- Serve: Drizzle the dressing over the salad and garnish with fresh cilantro. Toss gently to combine, or serve as individual portions.
Weight Watchers Tips:
- Points Adjustment: To lower the points, use less cheese or omit the avocado. Stick with the leanest ground meat (like 99% lean turkey) to keep the points down.
- Crunch Without Extra Points: Use a small amount of Doritos for flavor and crunch or replace them with baked tortilla chips or a few crushed rice cakes for fewer points.
- Add Veggies: If you want to add more veggies without increasing points, try adding bell peppers, cucumbers, or even sliced radishes.
This Weight Watchers Easy Doritos Taco Salad gives you that classic taco flavor and crunchy texture of Doritos while keeping it light, healthy, and low in points. It’s perfect for a quick lunch or dinner!
