Saturday Vittles

My Daughter and I are trying to eat more healthy so I thought I would share some pictures on Saturday's of what we've made.

Taco Salad

You Will Need

1 lb hamburger

1/2 Cup corn

1/2 Cup black beans

1/2 tsp. Cumin

1/2 tsp. Chili Powder

1/2 tsp. Salt

1/2 tsp. Garlic powder

Homemade salsa

1/4 Cup Pepper Jack cheese- shredded

1/4 Cup cilantro

1/4 Cup Green Onions- diced

2 Cups shredded lettuce

1/2 Cup sliced black olives

What To Do: 

Pan fry hamburger with the spices. Add beans and corn and heat through. 

Add 1/2 cup of hamburger mixture on top of 1 cup of lettuce. Top with a pinch of cheese, 2 spoonfuls of black olives, some salsa, cilantro, and green onion. 

Homemade Salsa recipe (Pico De Gallo)

I always refer to this as my homemade salsa but it's actually Pico De Gallo. I make this all the time because my daughter and I love it, it's low in calories and goes with all kinds of foods. 

4 large tomatoes diced small

1 large yellow onion diced small

One bunch of cilantro diced small (about 1 cup)

Juice from 2 lemons

Salt to taste

 Mix all ingredients together and store in a container with a lid in the refrigerator.
