Healthy Vegetarian Taco Salad

My healthy taco "non meat" mix...

• 2 servings of Morning Star Farms Grounds
• 1/2 cup of black beans
• 2 tbs corn
• 1/4 packet of hot taco seasoning
• dash cayenne (I LIKE ALL THINGS SPICY!)
• dash black pepper
• 1 green onion, chopped
• a splash of water to keep it all moist

I cook all this up in a medium sized sauce pan for about 10 minutes on medium-low heat. Let all the flavors blend and love on each other for a while.

While that is cooking I grab my trusty cutting board and knife and start chopping away at the following.

• Romaine lettuce
• 1 tomato
• Ripe avocado
• 1 small white onion

I grab one of my bigger bowls (because I am a sloppy eater, HA) and layer the following.

1. Romaine
2. Cooked "meat" and bean mixture
3. tomato
4. 1/2 the avocado (about 2oz)
5. a little of the white onion

Then I top it all with the following

• red pepper flakes
• fat free american shredded cheese (28 grams)
• 1 tbs fat free sour cream (or plain greek yogurt)
• And taco sauce or salsa if you like

Voila! Guilt FREE meat FREE taco salad.


For those of you on Weight Watchers this is roughly in the range of 9 -10 points. It depends on how much taco sauce or salsa you use and cheese and avocado etc... Somewhat high BUT it is all healthy veggies in a massive bowl the size of your head that oddly enough tastes quite delicious! :)

Who needs chips right?
