MyLeanBody Boot Camp - Recipe of the Week
Healthy Taco Salad

Eat this on a night that you are in the mood for Mexican, but don't want to ruin your whole week by eating the entire basket of chips.  It is super quick and easy!  Add as many veggies to the mix as you want.  The salsa and sour cream serve as the dressing, and give the salad really good flavor!  This sure satisfies my taco craving.  Add a few black beans, if you want to increase the fiber. 

 

Makes 4 salads


Ingredients:

 

1 tsp. olive oil

1 medium onion, chopped

1 lb. 93% or leaner ground beef

1 package Lawry's Taco Season

1-2 heads romaine lettuce, chopped

Diced tomatoes or cherry tomatoes

½ c. shredded sharp cheddar

½ c. jarred salsa

¼ c. light sour cream

1 avocado or ½ cup prepared guacamole (optional)

any other veggies you like in your tacos - green onions, black olives, peppers - be creative!

 

Prep:

 

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.  Add onion and cook, stirring often, for about 2 minutes.  Add hamburger and cook until cooked through.  Add seasoning packet and water according to package directions.  Simmer for a few minutes.  Divide romaine lettuce between bowls (about 1-2 cups each).  Top each with 2 T. cheese, diced tomatoes, 3-4 oz. taco meat, 2 T. salsa, 2 T. guacamole or ¼ avocado, diced, and 1 T. sour cream.   Toss everything together and enjoy!
