Ingredients

• 1 pound ground turkey or grassfed ground beef
• 1/2 tsp organic Mexican seasoning (I like Spice Hunter brand)
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 1 cup fresh salsa (homemade salsa is best)
• 2 tbsp cultured sour cream
• 1 head organic romaine lettuce, cut into pieces (about 8 cups)
• 2 cups cooked soaked crockpot pinto beans or black beans
• 1 avocado, diced
• 1 cup grated raw milk cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup sliced black olives
• Optional: Organic GF tortilla chips

Instructions

1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add two tablespoons of olive oil, the ground turkey (or beef), Mexican seasoning and salt.
2. Cook, breaking the meat up with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 5-6 minutes.
3. Pour off any excess liquid. Then, stir in 1/2 cup of the salsa and cook until heated through, about one minute.
4. In a small bowl, combine the sour cream and remaining 1/2 cup of salsa to create the taco salad dressing. Add salt and pepper to taste.
5. Place the lettuce, turkey mixture, pinto beans, avocado, cheese and olives into separate bowls. Serve buffet-style so your family can make their own salad.
6. Top with the taco salad dressing. (Recipe inspired by Real Simple.)
