Stir in salsa, vinegar, chili powder and beans; cook until heated through. On 6 plates, evenly divide and layer lettuce, tomatoes and pepper. Top with turkey mixture, cheese and green onion. Serve with lean tortilla chips, yogurt and lime wedges, if desired.
  2. Lean tortilla chips: Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray two baking sheets with cooking spray. Brush six 8-inch flour tortillas lightly with water and sprinkle with garlic salt.
