The perfect weeknight meal... and great for meal prepping!
Taco salad is one of my all-time favorite meals. It's equally as great in the moment as it is as leftovers/meal prep throughout the week! The kale gives it an extra nutritional punch, as well. Read below for the recipe and nutrition information!
Recipe Information:
Makes ~4 servings
Total time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
6 cups kale + 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
3 bell peppers, sliced
1 red onion, sliced
Salt
Pepper
Chili Powder
Garlic Powder
Onion Powder
2 cans black beans
1 lb lean ground turkey
2 avocados
2 cups shredded cheese of choice
Recipe:
Place kale in large bowl. Pour olive oil on top and use hands to massage in until soft and tender.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with aluminum foil and cover in olive oil. Place sliced bell peppers and onion on top of oil and sprinkle desired seasonings on top. Use hands to massage vegetables with oil and seasonings until fully coated and evenly distributed. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until desired results.
In a medium-sized colander, rinse black beans to remove excess fluid. Pat dry.
In a large pan, combine ground turkey with taco seasoning of choice and cook until fully browned, or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
For each bowl, layer the following: 2 cups/handfuls kale massaged with olive oil, 1 cup mixed bell peppers & onion, 1/2 cup black beans, 1/2-1 cup seasoned ground turkey, 1/2 avocado, and 1/2 cup shredded cheese!
Nutrition:
This bowl is PACKED with nutrients!!!
Kale: kale is one of the most nutrient-dense veggies EVER! It provides high amounts of vitamin A, vitamin B6, vitamin C, vitamin K, folate, fiber, potassium, calcium, carotenoids, and manganese. This wide array of nutrients provides countless benefits to the body and mind. A superfood for sure!!
Red onion: red onions are full of sulfur compounds that protect the body from ulcers and various cancers. They also fight bacteria and contain quercetin, an anti-inflammatory antioxidant that protects against cancer, allergies, and heart disease.
Avocado: HEART HEALTHY FATS!! Avo contains lots of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats (MUFAs and PUFAs), which reduce cholesterol and triglycerides.
