I could eat tacos every night – it’s one of my favorite meals. Sometimes I like to get rid of the carbs and turn it into a taco salad with iceberg lettuce, or with lettuce wraps. No dressing needed here as it’s just mild salsa, sour cream, and mashed avocado mixed together. It’s a great meal that gets protein, veggies, and greens in!
Ingredients:
- 5-10 Grape Tomatoes
- 1/2 small red onion, sliced thin
- 1 Can Black Beans

- Simmer until the water has evaporated and the ground beef is mixed with the spiced – set aside.
