My plans... part 2

So I thought I'd include my recipe for dinner tonight. 

Mexi-Veggie Salad
1 can of rinsed/drained black beans
2 celery stalks
3 green/red/yellow or orange peppers
1/2 an onion
2 tomatoes
1/4-1/2 c cilantro
1 jalapeno - seeded (opt)
All of the veggies get diced and tossed with the black beans.
Then you toss with the dressing and let sit one hour.
Dressing:
1 tsp. brown sugar
1 tsp cumin
2 T. fresh lime juice
1/4 c. olive oil.
 I also eat this on chips sometimes or you could grill some chicken breasts, dice it up and put it all on a chopped lettuce salad.

For my mini taco burgers, I mix in a few Tbls of taco seasoning and a little grated onion into some 93/7 lean ground beef (sometimes I use turkey).  Then I grill or pan cook these until done and top with some grated cheese, a little salsa, perhaps some guac (mashed avocado, cilantro, lime juice and a tiny bit of salt to taste) all on a mini bun. 

I hope you enjoy... if you try it. :)
