Instructions
- For Chipotle Ranch Dressing: In a small bowl, mix together the ingredients for the Ranch Seasoning Mix (dried parsley through celery seed). Place 1 tablespoon of this mixture in a medium bowl, add Greek and plain yogurts and adobo sauce. Mix thoroughly, cover and refrigerate until ready to use (this makes about 1 cup of dressing, so you'll have plenty leftover. It keeps well in the fridge for several days).
- For Taco Meat: Heat a large, non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add meat and fry, breaking up the meat as it cooks, until browned all over. Drain excess fat from the pan (if there is any). Add tomato paste, chili powder, oregano, paprika, garlic powder and onion powder. Stir to combine and pour in water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and cook until the liquid is almost gone and meat is fully cooked, stirring occasionally, about 3 to 5 minutes. Set aside.
- For Salad: Place ½ cup baby arugula in each of 4 salad bowls. Top with ¼ each of the meat, cheese, corn, tortilla chips, tomatoes, cabbage, radishes, and carrots. Feel free to mix and match any of your favorite taco salad toppings here - this list is just my personal favorite. Serve with Chipotle Ranch dressing.
