Taco Salad Recipe Video
I LOVE mexican food! This recipe is sooooo good! You can eat it on all phases of dieting with a few variations. If you are still trying to lose weight, leave out (or go easy) on the sprinkle cheese and skip the avocado. If you're on maintenance, you can eat it just like I make it in the video. You can even add some sour cream if you like but it really doesn't need it! The homemade taco seasoning is way lower in carbs than store-bought taco seasoing!
