Notes
For a meal prep version of this salad: store the ground turkey and black bean mix separate from the lettuce and dressing. When you are ready to serve, combine lettuce with black bean mix, top with dressing and sprinkle with cheese and tortillas!
Taco seasoning can be replaced with a homemade version by combining ½ tablespoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper , ¼ teaspoon paprika, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, and a pinch of dried oregano.
