I love Taco Bell!
Secretly I freaking love Taco Bell. I know, whaaaat? It's like my kyptonite with a gigantic Mountain Dew to chase it down with. Best.Over.The.Top.Cheat.Meal.EVER. But obviously I was going to go nowhere but backwards if I continued to inhale it like the apocalypse was coming (or let's be honest, like Cartman in the one Southpark episode with the KFC). The struggle is real to avoid on stressful days!

So now that you know my struggles and how much I LOVE Taco Tuesday. Here is my healthier homemade go-to when I'm craving some drive-thru.
Swapped ground beef for ground turkey, some homemade seasoning, and tossed it over a salad. Voila! Healthy taco salad with no drive-thru guilt.
