Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Cut the tortillas into 1/2-inch strips.
Spray both sides of the strips generously with cooking spray and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for 7-8 minutes, flipping halfway, then remove from the oven.
Meanwhile, prepare the salsa yogurt dressing by whisking together the yogurt and salsa in a bowl.
To serve, add 1/4 of all the ingredients to a bowl (add everything but the tortilla strips) then add 1/4 cup of the salsa yogurt dressing. Toss to combine. Then top with tortilla strips and enjoy! For each salad (makes 4): 2 cups romaine lettuce, 1/2 cup Mexican Ground Turkey (85g), 1/3 cup corn (85g), 1/4 cup black beans (60g), 1/4 cup tomatoes, 2 Tbsp shredded cheese (14g), 1 Tbsp chopped cilantro, 1/4 cup Salsa Yogurt Dressing (60g)
