HEALTHIER TACO SALAD

I created this dish so the kids could still enjoy one of their favorite foods, but with less fat and salt. It passed their taste-test with flying colors! Leftovers are great for school lunches.

Add tomato juice, hot sauce, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and cayenne pepper. Reduce heat and simmer gently, about 15 minutes.
  • Break tortilla chips into bowls and top with the ground beef mixture. Finish with Cheddar cheese, lettuce, and salsa.

  • Roast peppers: Preheat oven to 400°F. Place peppers on a baking sheet, spray with olive or avocado oil cooking spray, sprinkle on a little salt and pepper and place in the oven to roast for 20-30 minutes, or until peppers are soft. Let peppers cool, remove stems and any large seeds and then dice into small pieces. The diced up peppers should measure out to be about 1/3 cup.
  • Make dressing: Add all ingredients for the dressing into a blender and blend until fully combined and smooth. You can also use an immersion blender for this.
  • Cook turkey: Add oil to a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add turkey. Break meat into small pieces using a spatula or meat chopper as it cooks. Cook for about 6-8 minutes or until the turkey is no longer pink. Add taco seasoning, salsa and roasted peppers to the pan and toss to combine. Set aside.
  • Prep salads: While the turkey it cooking start to prep your salad ingredients. To build salads, start with a base of romaine lettuce in each bowl and add the toppings — turkey taco meat, tomatoes, corn, cheese, jalapeño, avocado and chips.

8 WAYS TO TURN A TACO SALAD RECIPE INTO A HEALTHY DISH

From food.thefuntimesguide.com

  • Use the lowest fat content ground beef you can find. I use one that is only 4% fat content and the cows the meat comes from are fed no antibiotics or growth hormones.
  • Drain any fat off the ground beef rather than eating it. You’ll still get a bit of fat which is actually good for you no matter what, so just go ahead and drain the excess.
  • Get rid of that deep fat fried tortilla and add a few baked tortilla chips instead. They are far healthier and you will cut the extra calories quickly if you use baked tortilla chips instead.
  • Reduce the amount of ground beef and add more vegetables such as lettuce, tomatoes, avacados, and even onions. Meat is wonderful, as we all know, and you do need a certain amount of protein in any healthy diet, but Americans actually eat way more meat than they need.
  • Replace your regular cheddar cheese with a low-fat cheddar cheese. The Tillamook brand has a wonderful tasting low-fat cheddar cheese, and is my personal favorite.
