Ingredients
- 1. A touch of delicate light olive oil
- 2. Fragrant minced garlic, two cloves
- 3. A can of diced tomatoes, size 14.5 ounces
- 4. Plant-based ground beef crumbles, a package weighing 12 ounces (like MorningStar Farms® Griller's Recipe Crumbles®)
- 5. A package of taco seasoning, weighing 1 ounce
- 6. Loads of shredded lettuce, six cups worth
- 7. Creamy non-fat cottage cheese, two cups
- 8. Shredded non-fat cheddar cheese, one cup
- 9. A drizzle of taco sauce, customized to your taste, two tablespoons
Step 1
Begin by heating a generous amount of olive oil in a skillet set over medium-high heat. Let the oil warm up before adding in the minced garlic, allowing it to sizzle and release its aromatic essence, softening just right, taking about a couple of minutes. Next, introduce the diced tomatoes, plant-based ground beef crumbles, and a medley of taco seasoning to the skillet. Stir and cook until the tomatoes break down and turn tender, giving it a good 10 minutes to meld all the flavors together.
Step 2
Moving on to the assembly part, grab two serving bowls and distribute a bed of fresh, crisp lettuce in each. Now, it's time to ladle out the savory tomato mixture evenly over the lettuce in each bowl. Surround this flavorful core with dollops of creamy cottage cheese, allowing it to add a delightful contrast of textures. To finish off, generously sprinkle grated Cheddar cheese on top, ensuring a blanket of gooey goodness. Don't forget to drizzle some zesty taco sauce over the creation to tie all the elements together in a harmonious blend of flavors. Enjoy this colorful and satisfying dish!
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Keep your lettuce fresh by storing it in a perforated plastic bag in the crisper drawer of your refrigerator. Don't wash it until you're ready to use it to prevent wilting.
- 2. To add a burst of flavor to your salad, chop fresh herbs like cilantro and green onions and store them in a small container with a damp paper towel to keep them from wilting.
