I add romaine and spinach to my bowl and top it with the salad dressing. Then I add the pickled onions, white cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes, jalapenos if using, top with a bunch of ground chicken and finish with crumbled crispy tortilla’s if you desire.

Saving Money:

Most of these ingredients are simple to have on hand at all times. The ground chicken is probably the most expensive. I recommend looking into pastured turkey / meat that is local to you. They will often have sales and when you meet the butcher, store or farm owner it makes the process of paying for higher quality meat worth it in nutrition and in relationship. The little extra money you put out by doing this it is going towards supporting ethically raised animals and loving farms.
