How to Make Healthy Taco Salad: Try It Once, You'll Make It Forever! 3 steps
1

Preheat the oven to 200°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss the tortilla strips with a bit of olive oil and a few pinches of salt. Spread on the sheet and bake for 10 to 14 minutes or until crispy.

2

Now we prepare the shiitake taco 'meat': In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they start to brown and soften, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the walnuts and lightly toast for 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the tamari and chili powder. Add the balsamic vinegar and stir again. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper to taste.

3

Combine the salad with romaine lettuce, cabbage, black beans, taco meat, radish, tomatoes, avocado, jalapeno (if using), and plenty of cilantro lime avocado dressing. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt. Serve with lime wedges and extra dressing. Enjoy!
