Taco Salad Bowl

This is my own version of a taco salad ... and it's surprisingly healthy and delicious! This is our go-to meal when we're short on time. It's also very filling.

• 2 whole wheat tortillas
• 3 C romaine lettuce, shredded
• 15 oz black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 1/4 C salsa
• 2 tsp Ranch dressing
• 1/4 C cheddar cheese, grated
• 1 avocado, diced
• 1 tomato, diced
• 1/8 tsp chicken bouillon

Heat olive oil over medium heat. Saute garlic and onion until they begin to brown. Stir in black beans and chicken bouillon and cook until thoroughly heated.

Press each tortilla into a large cereal or soup bowl. Add 1 1/2 C lettuce to each bowl. Split the beans, onion and garlic between the two bowls. Top with cheese, avocado, tomato, salsa and ranch.
