  • 3/4 cup Salsa or Taco Sauce
  • 1 head of Lettuce, chopped

  1. Fill a large pot about halfway with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add corn to boiling water and cook until kernels are tender, about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Allow to cool. Use a knife to carefully remove kernels from the cobs and place kernels in a bowl.
  3. Heat a large pan over medium-high heat. Add meat and cook. Drain off fat and liquid once cooked.
  4. Chop lettuce, tomatoes, and onions and place in a large bowl. Add corn. In a separate bowl combine meat, beans and salsa.
  5. Combine the two mixtures. Serve with your favorite taco toppings (like cilantro, avocado, crushed chips, low-fat cheese or low-fat sour cream).
