Super Taco Salad

Super Taco Salad is a great lunch or dinner if you want something quick, filling and delicious.  I like to use Spinach for my greens because they are full of vitamins (A,C,E & K), antioxidants and minerals.  Spinach has been shown to prevent cancer and improve the health of your heart and bones. Many other lettuce greens, especially those in the cabbage family, have substances that can slow down your metabolism.  Since my goal is to continue losing weight, spinach is my top choice for salad greens. 

Ingredients

1 lb of Trader Joe's All-Natural Ground Beef
1 can of Trader Joe's Organic Black Beans
1/2 medium Vidalia Onion
1 medium tomato diced
Spinach
Worcestershire Sauce, Garlic Powder & Cajun Seasoning to taste
Organic White Corn Chips (optional)


Preparation

1.  Saute the onions until tender.
2.  Brown the ground beef with the onions. 
3.  Season with Worcestershire, Garlic Powder and Cajun Seasoning to taste.
4.  Add the drained, black beans to the pan and simmer for 5 - 10 minutes. 
5.  Top the spinach with the ground beef mixture.
6.  Add diced tomatoes and a scoop of Easy Guacamole.
7. Enjoy with a few corn chips.
