Recipe for today:
Santa Fe Shrimp Supreme

For Salad:
3 cups chopped romaine lettuce
3 ounces cooked shrimp
1 small corn tortilla
1/2 cup grape tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup chopped bell peppers
1/4 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup canned sweet corn, drained
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 packet 0 calorie sweetener
1/4 teaspoon taco seasoning mix, dry
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro

For Dressing:
3 tablespoons fat-free ranch dressing
1 1/2 teaspoons tomato paste
1/4 teaspoon taco seasoning mix, dry

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees

Cut tortilla into matchstick-sized strips. Lightly spray a small baking pan with nonstick spray, and place strips in the center of the pan. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon of taco seasoning over tortilla strips, and carefully toss them to distribute seasoning. Spread strips out on the pan, place in the oven, and cook for 5-7 minutes, until strips look crispy. Remove strips, set aside.

In a small dish, combine 2 tablespoons of water with vinegar, lime juice, and sweetener, as well as cilantro. Place peppers and onions in a small microwave bowl and pour vinegar mixture over veggies. Cover and heat in the microwave for 2 minutes.

Add black beans and corn to the veggies. Stir well and then drain. Place dish in the fridge until chilled.

Once ready to serve, place lettuce in a large bowl and top with veggie/bean mixture. Add shrimp, tomatoes, and tortilla strips.

Mix dressing ingredients together in a small dish and serve alongside salad.

I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I've lost more than 300 games. Twenty-six times I've been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life... and that is why I succeed.Michael Jordan
