Taco Salad in a Jar Recipe!
- Prep Time: 30 minutes
- Total Time: 30 minutes
- Yield: 4 1x
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb. 93% lean ground beef or 1 package of tofu
- 3 tbsp. taco seasoning *see recipe* on cancerdietitian.com for a DIY version
- 1 head of lettuce
- ¼ cup onion, diced
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes
- ½ cup of black olives, sliced
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 avocado
- 6 oz. Greek yogurt
- 1 cup canned corn, drained
- 1 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup salsa
Instructions
- Brown beef or tofu.
- Add taco seasoning and mix. Set pan aside and allow it to cool.
- If serving as a salad to eat immediately, place all ingredients in a large bowl.
- If your meal prepping this, add a layer of each topping to the Mason jar, adding the meat only once cooled completely. Use 4 large jars for this recipe.
- I suggest this order (putting in the jar first to last, or bottom to top): salsa, Greek yogurt, avocado, meat, onion, corn, black beans, tomatoes, olives, cheddar cheese, and lettuce.
- Shake when ready to serve to mix well. Serve with corn or whole grain tortillas, or topped with tortilla chips!
