Ingredients:
1 lb. extra-lean ground beef
1 (1.25 oz.) pkg. dry taco seasoning mix
1 head lettuce, chopped (about 8 cups)
3/4 c. (3 oz.) reduced-fat shredded Cheddar cheese
1 (16 oz.) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
2 large tomatoes, diced (about 2 cups)
1 (8 oz.) bag baked tortilla chips, crushed
1 c. (8 oz.) sweet and spicy low-fat French salad dressing

Directions:
In a medium skillet, brown ground beef with taco seasoning mix, stirring to break up the meat; drain and cool.

In a large glass trifle or other serving bowl, layer half the lettuce then half the cheese, beans, ground beef and tomatoes.  Repeat layers then top with crushed tortilla chips.

Just before serving, drizzle with dressing and toss to coat ingredients well.
