Brent's FINALLY home from his bachelor party! (Although he informed me tonight that he has 2 more to go to in the next couple of months... another one in New Orleans. Unbelievable.) Anyway, he needed some healthy food to detox a little bit, so tonight we had a mega-meatless taco salad! I used the Catalina dressing that my mom used to always put on taco salad, and as far as salad dressing goes, it's pretty healthy (70 calories/serving.)
Mega-Meatless taco salad (serves 4)
1. 1/2 head of iceberg lettuce (chopped) $0.99
2. 1/2 can of black beans rinsed and drained $0.89
3. 1/2 can of chili beans rinsed and drained $0.99
4. 1/2 can of corn $1.00
5. 1/2 chopped red pepper $0.99
6. 1/2 chopped cucumber $0.99
7. 1 chopped tomato $1.24
8. 1/2 cup shredded Mexican cheese $ 2.00
9. a couple handfuls of crunched, baked tortilla chips $3.50
10. Catalina dressing $2.99
Mix everything together :) It's so good. The only problem is that you're left with a bunch of half cans of everything! So what I did was mix the corn, black beans and chili beans together, and tomorrow I'm going to add a chopped tomato and some cilantro to make a salsa. You could even put some jalapeno and chopped avocado in there too! yummmm..... Total cost per serving: $3.90. However; you've got a lot of leftover ingredients because you didn't use all of anything. While eating this Brent said, "Wow, this is better than I expected." Now... should I be insulted or flattered?
