This Healthy Taco Salad with Ground Beef and Kidney Beans is perfect for a busy weeknight when you need a meal that comes together in 30 minutes and tastes delicious!

Chips. For. Supper.
I know. My 15 year old self is still very happy about this fact.
It’s mind blowing🤯
This Healthy Taco Salad with Ground Beef and Kidney Beans is a perfect weeknight go-to meal
It’s such a simple supper too: some romaine, topped with beef and bean mixture. But it’s super filling and an all-in-one meal. You get your hit of veggies from the lettuce; protein and healthy carbs from the beans; and some extra protein and iron from the ground beef.
Plus, this Healthy Taco Salad makes great lunches too – I’ll just keep the lettuce separate from the beef mixture until it’s time to warm it up and eat😋
Here’s what you need to make this Healthy Taco Salad:
- 1 lb of ground beef
- 1 medium onion
- Ketchup
- Salt, turmeric, chili powder
- 1 can of red kidney beans
- 1 large head of romaine lettuce
- Taco chips (Doritos) and shredded cheese for serving
Nothing too fancy here at all. Hope this Healthy Taco Salad makes it into your weekly meal rotation – #TuesTacoNight anyone?
