Healthy Taco Salad

Tacos Tacos Tacos! When we're not sure what to put on the menu for meal planning, tacos are always our go-to. These taco bowls last for two nights, and I get pumped when we have leftovers because it means I don't have to cook! They're super easy to throw together too--so even when you DO cook, it's a quick meal.

As you may have noticed, this taco salad skips the traditional crispy shell bowl and loads up on romaine and sliced grape tomatoes. Instead of rice, caulirice is used as a substitute, meaning that these taco bowls are truly veggies most! I promise, you won't even miss the rice or the crispy shell. You'll see...
