Steps:
- Heat griller crumbles according to package, adding water according to your taste for consistency.
- Add taco seasoning and let heat for 30 seconds longer so that the onion bits soften. I add extra cumin here for a smokier flavor, but you could also had a TINY bit of cayenne if you like the heat.
- Top lettuce with "meat," then sprinkle on taco sauce.
- Enjoy! :3 You could also top with shredded cheese, sour cream, or tomatoes, but I don't like any of those.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients whenever possible. Fresh vegetables and herbs will give your taco salad the best flavor.
- Choose lean protein sources. Ground turkey, chicken, or tofu are all good options.
- Go easy on the cheese and sour cream. These ingredients can add a lot of calories and fat to your salad.
- Use a variety of toppings. This will make your salad more interesting and flavorful. Some good options include diced avocado, chopped cilantro, sliced jalapeños, and crumbled cotija cheese.
- Make a dressing ahead of time. This will save you time when you're ready to assemble your salad.
Conclusion:
These 10 tips will help you make a delicious and healthy vegetarian taco salad. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
