Time to make a meal that is packed with protein, easy, and full of flavor.

I recently went on a shopping trip to Walmart and purchased Wish-Bone Italian Dressing, Tyson Grilled & Ready Chicken and TortillaLand Flour Tortillas so I could create a taco bowl salad that my entire family would love.

The Tyson Grilled & Ready Chicken is found in the freezer section and is a 22 ounce bag of protein packed fully cooked chicken breast strips. These are great for when I don’t have time to grill chicken myself (or when it is winter and my grill is under 2 feet of snow).

Wish-Bone Italian Dressing has Italian herbs, garlic, onions, and red peppers, and makes it easy to add flavor to any salad. I also use it for marinating steak for kabobs in the summertime. It is a bold, flavorful dressing that contains no high fructose corn syrup and it is gluten free. I found it next to the oils and vinegars.

TortillaLand Flour Tortillas are made from 5 ingredients and are found in the refrigerated section of Walmart next to the cheeses. They sell out frequently at my local store.

This recipe is fast and simple and I love how versatile it is.

First, you make a “taco bowl”. This isn’t going to turn out like the one at a restaurant – it will be much better!

TortillaLand Flour Tortillas are uncooked (you have to heat them for 60 seconds to finish cooking them if you are cooking on the stove) and are great for this use. You heat the oven to 350 F, fold the uncooked tortilla into an upside down muffin tin and cook for 11-13 minutes.

The tortilla hardens and forms a bowl (or large crouton).

I used fresh avocado, Romaine lettuce, and jarred fire roasted red pepper that had been packed in water. You can use whatever you have on hand – frozen corn, black beans, tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions…. The only limit is your imagination.

Above is a photo of about 6 ounces of the Tyson Grilled & Ready Chicken (or two servings) and I sautéed them for 3 minutes at a medium heat to thaw and ensure they were hot. Alternatively, you can put them in the microwave for 1-2 minutes (depending on your microwave).

I tossed the lettuce in a little of the Wish-Bone dressing and filled the “bowl” with the fixin’s. Doesn’t it look delicious?

Hi Snack Girl, This looks amazing but where are the Complete Nutritional Values? Love Your Site!! Thanks, T

The recipe looks awesome & healthy but "Tyson" leaves a very bad taste in my mouth from animal abuse, filthy handling and pure greed. I look to chicken sold by companies with higher standards like Plainville, Springer and Applegate. Also this recipe would be amazing with many of your wonderful suggested additions and no meat at all. I keep a package of Bridge Firm Tofu in the freezer that would be a great substitute for protein as well. Has anyone tried smoked wild herring in a taco? Its phenomenal.

Hi Lisa,
I like the idea of the taco bowl created by these uncooked tacos. I would personally use salsa or salsa mixed with a little sour cream or yogurt for the dressing. Agree with the other posters that it would be good to see nutritional info. My guess is the sodium is pretty high all around, especially from the chicken (for the first time, I'm paying attention to sodium as my husband is now on a reduced sodium diet). I realize the sponsored posts pay the bills, but you may want to take the (R) symbols and Wal-Mart reference out of your headline & move them into the body copy - they are definitely "advertising" alerts.

I just don't like those Grilled-Ready type chicken strips - no matter what the brand. There is a weird fake flavor/aftertaste to me that I just can't get past! But if I have some leftover cooked chicken breast on hand, this is an easy thing to make.

I am really disappointed it appears you are now promoting recipes made by certain food companies. I would hazard a guess that this recipe is high in sodium. I know those types of ready-made foods tend to be high sodium. They also contain food additives I would not use if I was making them myself. I hope soon you will return to your own creations of healthful, tasty, easy recipes that are not primarily comprised of manufactured foods.

This is a sponsored post - which is why companies are mentioned. I do like this recipe and the ingredients that went into it or I wouldn't do the post. It is a great quick meal.

Great idea for making taco bowls!!! Trader Joe's has a grilled chicken strips in their
freezer section that I have used in the past and the taste is very good. This looks like a tasty meal and quick too!!! Will be making this soon!!!! Thanks!
