Quick and easy recipes are the way to go y’all. Â Since we are trying a little bit harder to make smart eating choices with Truett, we’ve been trying to switch up the full blown 3 course meals with some more balanced, nutritious dinners, like this quick Taco Salad.
I realized that Truett loves lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and of course meat so I thought, why not make a taco salad for him. He’s eaten traditional salads and we’ve eaten taco salads in town but I’ve never really made one at home. Â The thing I love about this, is that he’s getting some balance with this dinner. Â He needs more of that! Â Don’t we all, right? Â It’s all about cooking’ up good food y’all!
I love to visit the Kraft website for recipe ideas because I haven’t came across one that isn’t easy on the budget.  And with college kids, sports, and every day bills,  I need that too!  I’d LOVE to know what time-savers you have in the kitchen and what budget friendly tips you have when it comes to chow time!

Looks delish! Great, quick meal.
Thanks! It was pretty simple but something I NEVER make. Glad I found it and happy that Truett embraced a all-in-one meal with lettuce and tomatoes! :)
Definitely going to try this tomorrow for lunch! Looks delish, and I could tweak it to fit my diet easily!
It’s pretty tasty! Let me know how it goes!
We love taco salad at our house. You can make up a big batch of the taco meat and keep it in the fridge for a week or so even. I make it with ground turkey often too. Plus to stretch it more and make it healthier add a can of drained black beans or kidney beans to the meat while you are cooking it.
Love the idea of adding black beans to a taco salad!!
