IMG_2860It has been awhile since our last recipe post. Most of our recent blogs have been geared toward the New Year, changing behavior, and even getting back on track with the Diary of a Reboot series. Let me tell you, I am so happy to be back in the kitchen creating new recipes for y’all!

This taco bake was born out of my boredom with taco salad. A good old fashioned taco salad bar is a staple in my house….it is easy to throw together and I usually have the ingredients on hand in a pinch. Same ingredients. New meal.

You can enjoy this bake with a side of fresh greens or even on the top of a few of our protein pretzels (to add some crunch!). Keep reading for the full recipe.

An easy, one pan dish that is high protein and low carb. Great for getting a good dose of vegetables in too.
