Tips:
- Choose lean ground beef: To keep the salad low in fat and calories, opt for lean ground beef with a fat content of 90% or less.
- Use a variety of vegetables: The more vegetables you add to your salad, the more nutritious it will be. Try using a mix of crunchy and soft vegetables, such as lettuce, tomatoes, shredded cabbage, and roasted bell peppers.
- Don't skimp on the spices: Spices are what give taco salad its signature flavor. Be generous with your favorite taco seasoning, chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder.
- Use a healthy dressing: Instead of using a store-bought dressing, make your own healthy dressing using olive oil, lemon juice, and fresh herbs. You can also use Greek yogurt or avocado as a creamy dressing.
- Add some crunch: To add some extra crunch to your salad, top it with crushed tortilla chips, chopped nuts, or crispy bacon.
