This makes a great weekend lunch, or a light snack when shared. Unlike traditional taco salad, this recipe does not feel heavy, but fresh and healthy instead. If you use a Goya Sazon seasoning packet, be aware that this does contain a small amount of MSG. Look for MSG free taco seasoning instead if you want to do without.

Ingredients (for two people)

4 taco shells, broken into chips-sized pieces
1/2 can of black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 can of sweet whole kernel corn, drained and rinsed
1 medium tomato, seeded and chopped
a handful of cilantro, chopped
1 packet Goya Sazon seasoning (any kind) or half a packet of taco seasoning
two cups of shredded lettuce
shredded cheese (optional)
a few spoons of your favorite salsa
a squeeze of lime juice

Directions

Break up the taco shells and put in the toaster oven until warm and crispy. Mix the black beans, corn, tomato, cilantro, seasoning, and lime juice in a bowl. Mix in the shredded lettuce and top taco shell pieces with mixture. Top with salsa and cheese, as desired. Enjoy!
