Taco Salad

Ingredients:

1 pound ground turkey breast

1 tablespoon canola oil

1 package natural taco seasoning mix

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons lime juice

1 teaspoon agave nectar

1/2 teaspoon chili powder

Freshly ground black pepper

12 cups chopped romaine lettuce leaves

1 cup black beans, drained

3 cups diced fresh tomatoes or halved cherry tomatoes

1/4 cup diced red onion

1/4 cup chopped cilantro

1/2 cup low-fat mozzarella cheese

2 ounces blue corn tortilla chips

Instructions:

ONE: Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add turkey and taco seasoning (along with any other ingredients required on the package directions) and brown until cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.

TWO: Whisk together olive oil, lime juice, agave nectar, chile powder and pepper in a medium bowl. Set aside.

THREE: Arrange lettuce on plates and top with turkey, black beans, tomatoes, onions, cilantro and cheese. Drizzle salads with reserved dressing and serve with tortilla chips on the side, if you like.
