  • 6 corn tortillas (or premade fried chalupa shells)
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 Tablespoons lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 head iceberg lettuce, shredded
  • 2 radishes, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup cilantro leaves, loosely packed

  • 1/4 cup scallions, chopped
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 8 oz. cheddar cheese, grated
  • 6 Tablespoons low-fat sour cream

Preparation

Step 1

Peheat oven to 350 F. Lightly spray cookie sheets with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

Place the tortillas in a single layer. Bake tortillas for 20 minutes until crispy and golden brown. (Do not turn over.)

Step 3

While the tortillas are baking, place the olive oil, lime juice, chili powder and Dijon mustard in a bowl and whisk until blended. Add the lettuce, radishes, cilantro leaves, basil and scallions. Toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste and toss again.

Step 4

Keeping the just-baked tortillas on the cookie sheet, spread hummus on each tortilla and sprinkle with 2 Tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 5

Heat in oven at 350 F until cheese is melted (about 5 minutes).

Step 6

Top each tortilla with salad mix, guacamole, sour cream and remaining cheese. If you have extra tortillas, cut them into quarters and bake them to use as garnish.
