Taco Salad with Olives, Salsa, & Sharp Cheddar

Taco salad is sooooo satisfying, with way less fat and calories than tacos themselves. 

VEGAN: omit turkey, and cheese, and substitute vegan cheese or vegan meat or tofu, if you want. [not necessary] use vegan tortillas. 

VEGETARIAN: use tofu, or seafood, or omit meat.

1. Wash and chop romaine lettuce. toss with a bit of tomato, a bit of onion. 

2. fry up ground turkey or chicken, add 1 small chopped onion, 1 small chili pepper for spice, 1 large clove minced garlic, 1/2 a chopped bell pepper, some black beans, and finally taco seasoning with a bit of lime juice. 

3. once meat is done, toss with salsa for a half/half ratio.

4. get some tortilla chips for the salad, lay on the side. top salad with meat/vegetable/salsa mixture, sharp cheddar cheese, and chopped olives.

5. serve! sour cream and avocado optional.
