Ingredients For Taco Salad
You’ll need the following ingredients to make this salad:
- lettuce- any type, but I like to use romaine or leaf lettuce
- tomatoes – any type (I use Roma)
- taco seasoning (I use low sodium)
- canned chicken breast
- sour cream (I use light, but you could use fat-free)
- salsa
- green onions
- shredded cheddar cheese (I use low-fat)
Instructions For Taco Salad
- Mix hot water and taco seasoning together to form a paste.
- Mix paste with drained chicken breast, stirring it and breaking mixture up with a fork until well incorporated (will look similar to pulled chicken)
- In 4 -8 oz mason jars, add lettuce to the bottom, dividing evenly between all 4 jars, then add tomatoes.
- Next add taco flavored chicken breast mixture, dividing evenly by all 4 jars.
- Then add 2 tablespoon of sour cream to each jar, followed by 2 tablespoon of salsa.
- Divide green onions by all 4 jars and add on top of salsa.
- Sprinkle on cheese (dividing evenly by 4 jars)
