Ingredients:
10 Tostitos Baked! Scoops
1/4 c finely shredded romaine lettuce
2 tbsp finely chopped tomatoes
2 1/2 tbsp) finely shredded low-fat cheddar cheese
1 tsp lower-sodium taco seasoning
2 oz (about ¼ cup) 96 percent lean ground beef
1 tbsp mild or hot red taco sauce

Directions:
Arrange the chips side by side on a plate. Mix the lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese in a medium bowl until well combined. Divide evenly among the chips (about 1 1/2 tsp per chip). Stir 2 tsp water into the taco seasoning in a small bowl until it has no lumps. Set aside. Preheat a small nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Put in the beef. Use a wooden spoon to coarsely crumble the meat as it cooks. When the beef is no longer pink, after 1 to 2 minutes, stir in the seasoning mixture. When no liquid remains, after about 1 minute, remove from the heat. Divide the meat evenly among the chips, atop the lettuce mixture (about 1 tsp in each). Dollop the top of each with taco sauce. Dig in immediately. Makes two servings, five mini tacos for each person.
