Yield: 4
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: Ground Beef; cayenne pepper sauce; taco shells; lettuce; reduced-fat blue cheese dressing; carrots; celery; fresh cilantro; carrots

Ingredients

1 pound Ground Beef (93% lean or leaner)
1/4 cup hot pepper sauce
8 taco shells
1 cup thinly sliced lettuce
1/4 cup reduced-fat prepared blue cheese dressing
1/2 cup shredded carrot
1/3 cup chopped celery
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Carrot and celery sticks or cilantro sprigs (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Heat large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add Ground Beef; cook 8 to 10 minutes, breaking into small crumbles and stirring occasionally. Remove from skillet with slotted spoon; pour off drippings, as necessary. Return to skillet; stir in pepper sauce. Cook and stir 1 minute or until heated through.

Cooking Tip: Cooking times are for fresh or thoroughly thawed ground beef. Ground beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160ºF. Color is not a reliable indicator of ground beef doneness.
Step 2

Meanwhile, heat taco shells according to package directions.
Step 3

Evenly spoon beef mixture into taco shells. Add lettuce; drizzle with dressing. Top evenly with carrot, celery and cilantro. Garnish with carrot and celery sticks or cilantro sprigs, if desired.

Cooking Tip: One quarter cup prepared ranch dressing combined with 2 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese may be substituted for blue cheese dressing.
