Wherein I post thoughts, recipes, and wonder how those rap dudes keep their pants up. To start you off:
Kathleen’s Easy Taco Salad (serves 4-6)
- 1 head romaine lettuce
- 2 tomatoes
- 1 bell pepper (your choice of colour)
- 1 avocado
- 1/2 red onion, cut into thin, small chunks
- 1 cup chopped cucumber
- 2 breasts chicken
- 1 tsp hot chili powder/taco seasoning
- seasoning salt
- 1 jar salsa
- cheese, grated (grate as much as you’d like)
1) Wash and chop all veggies except avocado, and put into a big bowl. Toss the salad (hurr)
2) Chop up raw chicken breasts and fry up with your seasoning salt and chili powder. If you don’t have that, try some taco seasoning instead.
3) Remove pit from avocado and slice into chunks.
Get everyone to get a big individual bowl of the salad mix. Top with as much avocado as you’d like. Add some of the cooked spicy chicken breast chunks, then add salsa to your taste, and some grated cheese.
Optional: crumble corn chips over the salad for extra crunch.
Why eat this?
Salsa is good for you! It has almost no calories (20-25 per 1/4 cup) and is made from veggies. It packs lots of flavour for very little cost. It’s far better for you than most salad dressings. I don’t add sour cream to this salad because it doesn’t really need it. Trust me, you’ll see. The avocado and cheese add lots of creamy texture, and avocado is full of good fatty acids. Even with cheese, this is very healthy because the bulk of the salad is veggies and lean meat.
