Receta Clean Eating Skillet Taco Salad

by Tiffany @ The Gracious Pantry

So by now, most of you know that Mexican food is my all time favorite. I just cannot get enough of the stuff. And while I wouldn’t call my recipes “authentic” in the finest sense of the word, I will say that using fresh ingredients will get you about as close to authentic as you can get without going to Mexico. And fresh ingredients is what this blog is all about!

This recipe is incredibly versatile, as most taco salad recipes are. In fact, you can work a taco salad to fit nearly any eating style. Simply add and subtract ingredients as needed to suit your lifestyle. And if you try this, I’d love to hear what you did to make this recipe just right for you!

Diary free? I didn’t use cheese on mine and it still turned out great. So if you’re dairy free, just skip the cheese and use the fresh toppings.

Paleo? Skip the beans and cheese.
