Having made the decision to move in the direction of a Plant-based diet I'm challenged with coming up with new recipes that are tasty, healthy and meatless.
I came up with this one last week and it's a hit!
My shortcut was to go to a local Mexican restaurant for the Tortilla Chips, Salsa's, and Guacamole. They deep fry their chips in vegetable oil and because we're staying away from processed foods, a better choice than store bought. The salsas are made fresh daily at the restaurant too.
Meatless Taco Salad
Serves 2-3 - large dinner salads
1 head Romaine heart lettuce - chopped
1 Medium ripe tomato - chopped
2 Tbls. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 cup diced sweet onion
1/2 cup Canned Black Beans - drained and rinsed
1/2 4 oz. can diced green chili's (mild or jalapeno-your preference)
1/2 cup frozen (or fresh) corn
2 Tbls. chopped cilantro
2 Tbls. Green salsa Verde
1/2 tsp. Taco Seasoning
1/2 cup guacamole
4 Tbls fresh Salsa (red)
1/2 cup tortilla chips (restaurant quality) - crumbled
Salt and Pepper to taste
Instructions
Chop Romaine lettuce and tomato and put into large salad bowl in preparation for making a taco salad. Chill in refrigerator while making bean and corn mixture.
Heat saute pan over medium heat. Add 2 Tbls. olive oil. Heat 1-2 minutes.
Add Onion, and cook until translucent. 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Add Black beans, heat 1 minute. Stir
Add Diced green chilis. Stir
Add Corn, heat 1 minute (if frozen, 2 minutes) Stir.
Sprinkle with 1/2 chopped cilantro
Drizzle 2 Tbls Salsa Verde into mixture. Stir
Add Taco Seasoning. Stir
Turn heat off saute pan. Squirt mixture with lime juice to your liking. 1/2 lime is enough for the bean mixture and to top salad with.
To salad in bowls, top each salad with 1/2 bean mixture (it's really enough for 3 salads!)
Top with Guacomole, red salsa, remaining cilantro, lime juice, and tortilla chips, crushed. Sprinkle edge of bowl with cilantro. Top salad with lime wedge.
Enjoy!

The topic of peptides came up at a dinner party I had this weekend. Hey, it happens when you have a skin care business :-) My friend (and PPI customer), Audrey, brought up the topic of peptides. I laughed when she said, "I don't know what they are, but my sister said they are good, and I want them in my face products," exclaimed Audrey!
Well, your sister is right, Audrey, we should be using peptides daily. Here's what they are and why we include them in our EWG Verified Peptide Eye Gel, and Bliss Face, Neck & Decollete Serum.
It seems everyone you talk to lately has or is just getting over the flu. Then you turn on the news and there's the coronavirus!
