Easy Taco Salad Recipe

I came up with this recipe when trying to figure out how to stay on plan and still enjoy Taco Tuesday. You can still make regular tacos for your kids and enjoy this healthy salad without having to make two different meals entirely. I suggest making a full pound or more of taco meat and then portioning out.

Ingredients

• 4 oz lean ground meat seasoned with Chili Powder
• 1 cup salad mix
• ½ cup chopped tomato
• ¼ cup chopped bell pepper
• ¼ cup salsa

Instructions

1. Brown meat in skillet until no longer pink. Drain excess fat.
2. Season meat with chili powder.
3. Add meat to salad mix. Top with tomato and bell pepper.
4. Top with salsa for your salad dressing.
5. Enjoy
