Taco Tuesday… but Make It a Salad 🥗🌮

We love a classic Taco Tuesday, but when July heat hits hard, it’s all about that chilled taco salad life. It’s fast, flavorful, and fridge-friendly — the summer trifecta. ☀️

This recipe is a staple in our house, especially for lunch preps and no-fuss dinners when turning on the oven is a no-go.

🥗 Trin’s Summer Taco Salad

  • 1 lb ground turkey or beef (browned earlier in the week!)
  • 1 packet taco seasoning (or make your own!)
  • Chopped romaine or spring mix
  • Diced tomatoes, corn, black beans, shredded cheese, and avocado
  • Crushed tortilla chips or chili lime corn chips
  • Optional: sour cream or Greek yogurt + salsa for dressing

Layer it all up in your Tupperware CrystalWave bowls if you're on-the-go, or build a giant family-sized salad in the Pampered Chef Stainless Steel Mixing Bowl and let everyone dig in. 💃

💡 Meal Prep Tip

Brown your meat on Monday and store in Tupperware Vent ’N Serve containers. On Taco Tuesday, it takes less than 5 minutes to reheat and assemble. 🙌

🍷 Pairing Pick

This salad pairs beautifully with Boisset’s Sonoma Sauvignon Blanc — crisp, citrusy, and fresh, it cuts the spice and complements the crunch.

✨ Final Thoughts

If you try it, let me know your add-ons! Some people go full fiesta with jalapeños and cilantro — we usually keep it mellow, toddler-approved, and super chill. 💚

It’s Friday. My energy? Low. My dinner motivation? Nonexistent. But my people still expect to eat — wild, right? 😂 That’s why Fridays in my house are all about kitchen shortcuts that feel like little miracles. I’m talkin’ less mess, less time, and more “YES I DID THAT” energy to close out the week strong. 🍳 1. One-Pan Wonders If you haven’t made a frittata in your Pampered Chef nonstick skillet yet… what are you even doing? I toss in whatever veggies are about to go bad, some eggs, shredded cheese, and call it fancy. 20 minutes, zero judgment. Bonus: it reheats well for breakfast tomorrow. 👏 🥗 2.
