Meat & Poultry Beef Healthy Steak Recipes Healthy Flank Steak Recipes Steak Taco Salad Be the first to rate & review! This gluten-free take on a taco salad uses seared flank steak in place of ground beef. Instead of a fried tortilla shell, crisp romaine lettuce forms the sturdy base for each salad. Queso fresco is a firm, mild cheese—a great alternative to feta if you're not a fan of the tang. Keep the tortilla chips whole for scooping, or lightly crush them and sprinkle on top of the bowl.
