Spicy Chicken Taco Salad

 

I love Mexican food! Growing up in Texas I developed a deep desire for spicy food and still have it. I decided to forgo the tortilla and chips while maintaining the taste that I love so much in a effort to stay true to my Living Fit Lifestyle ~ and my waistline! Once I made the commitment to let go of the grains, it was really easy to say “no” to the tortillas and chips.
