    Taco Salad

    Ingredients:

    • 2 TBS olive oil
    • 1 lb ground chicken 
    • ½ small zucchini
    • 1 large carrot
    • 1 small onion
    • 2 TBS taco seasoning
    • 2 TBS minced garlic
    • ¼ cup chicken broth
    • Shredded cheese of choice
    • Lettuce of choice
    • Tomatoes
    • Red onion
    • Avocado
    • Corn 
    • Salsa of choice 

    Directions:

    1. If you have a veggie chopper or food processor, place onion, zucchini and peeled carrot and pulse until very fine. Otherwise, chop finely with a knife. I love this one!
    2. Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Add onion, zucchini and carrot to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add ground chicken to the skillet along with minced garlic. Cook for 3-4 minutes.
    3. Add chicken broth and taco seasoning to skillet and cook for 2-3 more minutes, until meat is thoroughly cooked.
    4. Add meat on top of lettuce and other toppings and enjoy!
