Ingredients

Staple Ingredients:

Choose a Meat:

Choose a Crunchy Texture: This satisfies your “crunchy” needs without the calories of typical taco salad nacho chips.

Optional Additions:


Instructions

  1. Choose a meat. If you choose turkey or beef, heat pan, add 1 teaspoon of EVOO and brown meat. Season with your favorite herbs and spices. We typically use a dash of lemon juice, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper. If you choose chicken, grill, bake or cook in a pan. Season to your desired taste.
  2. Cook or warm beans. We typically follow FfL’s “Simply Seasoned Beans” recipe. Finely chop your “crunchy texture” of choice.
  3. On a small-medium plate, place a handful of spinach. Top with meat, beans, diced avocado, and your added “crunch.” Add salsa, yogurt, and any additional toppings you may desire.
  4. Enjoy!

Our Two Favorite Taco Salads:

  1. Grilled chicken seasoned with chili lime seasoning, spinach, 1/2 sliced avocado, cilantro, red cabbage, salsa, a dollop of Greek yogurt, and hot sauce.
  2. Browned ground beef seasoned with salt and pepper, spinach, 1/2 sliced avocado, cilantro, chopped raw
  3. Brussels sprouts, beans, salsa, a dollop of Greek yogurt, and hot sauce.

Notes

Dairy-free: To make this meal dairy-free, eliminate Greek yogurt.

We recommend organic ingredients when feasible.

Always check for FfL-friendly ingredients.
