Ingredients

½ tablespoon olive oil

1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey)

1 ½ tablespoons taco seasoning

¼ cup water

8 cups romaine lettuce (chopped)

½ cup cherry tomatoes

½ cup black olives (halved)

½ cup cheddar cheese

½ cup cubed avocado

¼ cup red onion (diced)

½ cup black beans

1/4 cup nonfat greek yogurt

2 tablespoons jarred salsa

¼ teaspoon garlic powder

¼ teaspoon onion powder

⅛ teaspoon black pepper

1/2 tablespoon lime juice (juice of half of a lime)

Directions

Heat a medium skillet over medium high heat. Add olive oil and heat for one minute. Add ground meat and cook for 12-15 minutes until browned. We love this tool for breaking up ground meat!

Once the meat has cooked, stir in your taco seasoning and water. Stir to coat the meat in seasonings.

While the ground meat cooks, prep the dressing.

Combine the dressing ingredients in a food processor or small blender. Blend until smooth.

Assemble the salads. Chop romaine and vegetables. Evenly divide the toppings across 2 salads.

Top the salads with cooked taco meat and dressing. Enjoy!
