Super NOM Taco salad with a few little tricks to keep it healthy! I tend to way over-estimate on the calories - this is probably about 6 servings' worth of meat and i don't think i really used the whole 1/4 cup of dressing.... also you can cut out 150 cals by skipping the tortilla and beans (but omg the best part!)
