Taco salad
Ingredients
- 1tbsp oil (Note 1)
- 1lbs extra lean ground beef
- 1 pack taco seasoning (Note 2)
- 1/3 cup water
- 1 1/2 cup blended cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 1 cup corn
- 1 cup cucumber
- 3/4 cup shredded cheese
- Lettuce & toppings of choice (Note 3)
Directions
- In a pan over medium-high heat, cook your ground beef; add 3/4 of the taco seasoning pack, add water and cook until reduced. Remove from pan & cool.
- In a small bowl, mix the blended cottage cheese with the salsa & the remaining taco seasoning.
- Chop and dice your lettuce and vegetable toppings.
- Store ingredients seperately, or preassemble salads into containers.
- If eating right away, start with lettuce, add ground beef & toppings, dollop cottage cheese mixture & serve!
Notes
- If using extra lean ground beef, use the oil - for lean or medium no need.
- I like the Cholula original taco blend.
- This is a super easy & customizable recipe, I used a spring mix lettuce, for toppings you can get creative:
- Quinoa
- Brown or White rice
- Tomato
- Avocado
- Tortilla strips or crushed chips
- Possibilities are endless and its a great meal prep.
