Easy Taco Salad with Guacamole

Ok. SO if you’ve been following me for a while, you’ll notice how much I love easy, fast and quick meals to pull together for my family. Well, this is definitely one of them!

SO fast to put together I surprised myself. And a great lower carb option for when the family are begging for tacos! Who says you have to miss out? I may have broken a taco shell to enjoy this salad. Or, maybe two. I don’t know, I lost count in my taco fuelled happiness.

Tacos deserve a song. They deserve to be sung to and enjoyed. Because Tacos are one of the best inventions ever. Amen.

Anyway…off topic. This salad is crisp, creamy with a simple guacamole mix, and filling.

I love food. Good food.
