Dr. Weil's Taco Salad
2 Servings Fast food taco salads are considered one of the highest fat, highest calorie choices at Mexican fast food restaurants. Ours is a wonderful alternative. Grate the cheese and add to the salad. Warm the beans if you like and add a little ground chicken, turkey or crumbled tempeh. Even though the carbohydrate content of this salad seems high, it has a very low glycemic index. The beans are also a rich source of folic acid and contribute to the high fiber content. Ingredients: 4 cups lettuce, torn into pieces 1 medium red bell pepper, chopped 1/2 cup chopped green onions 1 small cucumber, peeled and chopped 1 cup pinto beans, drained of juice 2 oz baked tortilla chips, broken into pieces 1/4 cup salsa Instructions: In a salad bowl, mix together the vegetables, pinto beans and tortilla chips. Add the salsa and stir gently to blend.
