Taco or Tostada Salad with Beef, Beans and Cheese in Fried Flour Tortilla (1 Salad)

Choose a taco salad served in a bowl or on a bed of lettuce instead of a fried flour tortilla shell.

Use a smaller portion of beans and choose black beans or pinto beans; avoid refried beans prepared with added flour or sugary sauces.

Request extra non-starchy vegetables such as lettuce, tomato, onion, peppers, salsa, and avocado to increase fiber and volume.

Choose grilled, lean beef and limit high-fat additions such as large amounts of cheese, sour cream, and creamy dressings.

Skip sweetened drinks and pair the meal with water, sparkling water, or unsweetened tea.

Eat slowly and take a 10–20 minute walk after the meal if medically appropriate.
