Taco Salad in a Jar Recipe

Prep time 30 mins

Serves: 4

Ingredients

• • 1 lb. 93% Lean ground beef or 1 package of Tofu
• • 3 tbsp. taco seasoning *see recipe* on cancerdietitian.com for a DIY version
• • 1 head of lettuce
• • ¼ cup onion diced
• • 1 pint cherry tomatoes
• • ½ cup of black olives sliced
• • 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
• • 1 avocado
• • 6 oz. Greek yogurt
• • 1 cup corn
• • 1 cup black beans
• • 1 cup salsa

Instructions

1. Brown beef or tofu.
2. Add taco seasoning and mix. Set pan aside and allow it to cool.
3. If serving as a salad to eat immediately, place all ingredients in a large bowl.
4. If your meal prepping this, add a layer of each topping to the Mason jar, adding the meat only once cooled completely. Use 4 large jars for this recipe.
5. I suggest this order (putting in the jar first to last, or bottom to top): salsa, Greek yogurt, avocado, meat, onion, tomatoes, olives, cheddar cheese, and lettuce.
6. Serve with corn or whole grain tortillas, or topped with tortilla chips!
