I love taco salad – it’s definitely a favorite here at our house.  I usually make it with ground beef, but after the last time that I made Green Chili Pork Taco’s I had a lot of meat left over and didn’t feel like tacos again…so I decided to use it in a Taco Salad!  Pork Taco Salad turned out REALLY yummy and I’m sure you’ll enjoy it! Pork Taco Salad is awesome and your whole family will gobble it up!

I also loved making the meat 1 time and have 2 separate meals out of it!  4 pounds of pork is A LOT OF TACO’s!  So instead I used about a pound of meat in the salad.  I think it will become a regular on our rotation.

Pork Taco Salad is one of those meals where you don’t have to be extremely careful on measuring.  If you like more onions – add more.  If you like no onions – that’s ok too.  Adjust it to you and your family!!! You know what your family likes – I customize mine on who’s eating with us 🙂

It’s also easy to make Pork Taco Salad into a healthier meal (this one is medium at best).  Use a mix of healthy greens (i.e. spinach and arugula) instead of the romaine and iceburg mix.  Cut down on the cheese and dressing and you have a pretty healthy dinner.

If Pork Taco Salad has you excited (which it should) you have to try out these too!
