Super Yummy Taco Salad

I am dieting and trying to substitute things to keep me on track. I LOVE taco salad at Mexican restaurants, but with the shell the calories KILL! To keep me on track I decided to try my own version. 600 calories later (with 8oz of seasoned meat) it works for me! I am also trying to cut back on carbs so this is perfect and keeps me full until dinner. I hope y'all love it!
