Taco Salad

Today’s recipe is for a tasty taco salad that’s a one dish meal.  This is a quick recipe which is great for busy week nights, and it can be modified in so many ways. You can use lean ground beef, turkey, or chicken for the meat. You can also used leftover shredded pork or beef. If you’re a fan of summer grilling, try grilled chicken or steak strips on your bed of lettuce. You can even buy a rotisserie chicken and shred the meat. I have used black bean, pinto beans or kidney beans. There are so many wonderful variations to meet your taste needs or adjust for items in  your pantry. Have a vegetarian or vegan in your family or need a meatless meal?  Add sliced avocado, fresh corn, and skip the meat for a meatless entree.

Easy Baked Lemon Chicken

Use a whole chicken cut into pieces or just your favorite parts.  If you want an economical meal, use thighs with as much fat removed as possible. Tasty!
