In a bit of a hurry - can someone give me a recipe for Taco Salad?

  • I saw this around somewhere, but I really want to try making taco salad tonight and I'm leaving for the grocery store shortly from work so I don't have a lot of time to dig around. Phase 1 compliant please.

    And when I say recipe please include amounts and times and the method. I'm absolutely the worst cook ever and need step by step directions.

    MANY THANKS!
  • Ok so I discovered lately the ground turkey that is pre-seasoned with Taco Seasoning it is delicious. I just put that on top of my salad sometimes add some pickles and it is so good. You can use WF dressings or some salsa if you can find one with no sugar.

    We can have kidney beans on PH1?
  • I'm guessing the person who said kidney beans isn't on IP.
    Also, you wouldn't want to brown onions with the meat.

    Actually, the whole recipes is WRONG for IP

    I just brown some ground beef. I use chili powder, cumin, garlic, onion flakes, salt, pepper to taste

    chop lettuce & raw onion
    Put the ground beef on top

    And top it all with mockamole (see IP recipes #4)

    I was going to say!!

    I use the same spices but add some fresh grated garlic and little ginger to the meat top the lettuce with it and add a pickle or two LOL.
  • I was getting ready to say...beans?cheese?chips? ****, sign me up on that one!! lol
  • No worries I've been around long enough to know better LOL. I'll use Lisa's version. Luckily I don't like guac so I found a sugar free salsa/taco sauce that I'll use. It has 5 cals in a TBS and 1 carb but I can live with that if it's only once or twice a week.
