Taco Salad

How are your new years resolutions going? I, as always, set the goal to get healthy. I started training to run a 10K in September and then I hurt my back.

I was down.

I was hurt.

The training stopped.

The healthy eating went out the window. Its been its been 4 months. I’m finally feeling a little better. I’m back to running a little in the morning but I changed the 10K goal. I’m now hoping I’ll be able to make it through a 5K. Anyway…enough whining.

I’m setting a mid-year resolution and I’m trying again, so frustrating.

 One of my favorite healthy meals is salad. Today I want to share the our Taco Salad Recipe.

Ingredients

1 – 12 oz. bag Mixed Lettuce

1/2 pound Ground Beef or Ground Turkey

1 – 15.25 oz. can Kidney Beans

1/2 cup Cheese, shredded

Now like any salad you can make it as healthy as you want. I really like my salad with salad dressing so I’m willing to add the extra calories.

I hope you enjoy!
