Happy Friday, friends!

Maybe we should celebrate with a little fiesta, what do you think?

I’ve always been a big taco salad fan, especially when dining Mexican.

I was also a big fan of telling the waiter that it was my birthday so he would bring the birthday sombreros out to my sister and I (oh, wait, was that just last year?!).

Usually the taco salad itself was so filling that I could only feebly munch on the ginormous puffed tortillas shell-shaped bowl after the interior was gone.

This week I brought taco salads back in a big way with this p lant-based bowl that’s hearty and filling without the traditional shell exterior.

How about we make this 10-Minute Black Bean Taco Salad for a lightened up version of the classic?

You just need fresh veggies, black bean protein, and some simple dressings to make this vegan and gluten-free taco salad.

Birthday sombreros optional but recommended.

We start with a simple shredded romaine lettuce base.

If you’re like me, you’re so into the dark leafy greens that you forget little ‘ole romaine is actually quite tasty too.

Then we top the lettuce with layers of fresh diced peppers, tomatoes, avocado, black beans and cilantro.

But wait, there’s more.

Because the salad is so simplistic, the dressings and garnishes are what really make this salad shine.

I like adding salsa, hot sauce, fresh squeezed lime, and yogurt.

Yes, yogurt.

Unsweetened yogurt is a fantastic replacement for sour cream in recipes and adds that creamy flavor without any dairy.

Lately I’m loving this kind.

This 10-Minute Black Bean Taco Salad is perfect for an easy meal prep!

You can prepare the lettuce and chop the vegetables in advance for easy lunch assembly during the work week.

It’s also incredibly easy to throw together on nights where you have nothing prepared.

The vegetables here are just what I had on hand; feel free to mix and match your favorites in this salad template.

I love mine with lots of hot sauce, squeezed lime, and yogurt drizzle.

If you’re not a black beans person, try subbing your favorite legume or favorite protein of choice instead.

#ad// {NEW!} When everything else feels hard, this #ad// {NEW!} When everything else feels hard, this Thai Carrot Sweet Potato Soup feels easy. 🥕🍠🥣 It also tastes amazing and every warm spoonful is like a comforting embrace. This Thai Carrot Sweet Potato Soup is made on the stovetop with root vegetables and yellow curry paste blended with a spoonful of nut butter. I used a standing blender but you can also use an immersion blender to achieve the creamiest consistency.

I love topping my soup with cilantro, @edenfoods Tamari Roasted Almonds, and @edenfoods Hot Pepper Sesame Oil. 

@edenfoods Tamari Roasted Almonds are infrared roasted organic almonds with complimentary organic tamari soy sauce. They’re a delicious snack packed with protein and fiber. You can enjoy them on their own, added to trail mix, on salads and bowls, or…on soup! 
 
@edenfoods Hot Pepper Sesame Oil is a delicious unrefined expeller pressed toasted sesame oil that is infused with hot red chili peppers. Friends, this stuff is HOT! Just a *drop* adds a big kick to your dressings, marinades, stir-fries, etc. If you have a wild side, add a drop or two to your soup bowl for a little extra heat! 

Feel free to add your favorites, like roasted chickpeas, green onion, and sesame seeds.
