How to Make Tiny Tacos Low Fat

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Arrange 10 Tostitos Baked Scoops side by side on a baking sheet.
In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup chopped lettuce, 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes, and 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese. Mix well.
Evenly divide the lettuce, tomato, and cheese mixture among the 10 Tostitos scoops.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 pound lean ground beef, 1 tablespoon taco seasoning, and 2 teaspoons water until well combined and no lumps remain.
Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef mixture and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and no longer pink (about 5-7 minutes).
Remove from heat.
Evenly divide the cooked beef among the Tostitos scoops, placing it on top of the lettuce mixture.
Top each tiny taco with a dollop of your favorite taco sauce (about 1 teaspoon per taco).
Serve immediately and enjoy your fiesta!
