This is truly the easiest recipe to make, it can be on your table for dinner or lunch in 20 minutes flat! I especially like to make this after I've made this ground chicken for taco night, as it makes great leftovers without feeling like you're eating the same thing again.

While I make my own taco seasoning for the chicken here - you can of course grab your favorite packet at the store, but they are typically loaded with other ingredients and things we can't pronounce, so I prefer to do my own - see the recipe, it couldn't be easier.

I do a base of chopped romaine or other green lettuces, and then from there top with crumbled up tortilla chips (make sure yours are GF if you're gluten free), drained black beans, chopped tomato, shredded cheese, avocado, scallions, cilantro and this lime vinaigrette that is so so good. This recipe works just as well with ground beef, pork, turkey, or use a plant based "ground meat." And of course add on any other toppings you have / love!

The meat keeps really well for a day or two for leftovers, or to use on a quinoa or rice bowl, or taco night with all the other fixings that you use in the salad. Oh, my toddler also loves it too!

Serves 4 for dinner.
