I eat this salad so much, I think it tricks me into believing I'm having something more fun than salad because of the guac and crunch from the tortilla chips. It's super easy and can be dressed up with by adding more to it or keeping it simple. Also this tex mex mix is the bomb with barely any sodium! 

Ingredients: 

1 pkg ground turkey

2 TBSP tex mex mix

1/2 can black beans

2 tbsp salsa

2 tbsp homemade guac 

6 baby tomatoes 

7 tortilla chips 

1. Sautee turkey on medium heat with olive oil, add in the mix

2. Mix everything else together, can add fresh cilantro to top it off and vegetarians can replace the meat with chickpeas for their protein boost.
