I love to make this Taco Salad in a Jar for picnics. The combination of turkey cooked with taco seasoning and the corn and black beans just says tacos to me. It’s like a deconstructed taco in salad form. Delicious!
Place turkey in a skillet with oil. Season with salt and taco seasoning. Cook until golden and cooked through. Leave to cool for a few minutes. Layer ground turkey, black beans, corn, romaine, cheese, and tomatoes into jars. Pack up your cooler and enjoy this taco salad at a picnic.
To make my version of Taco Salad in a Jar, you will need the following ingredients:
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet.
Add 1 pound of turkey to the skillet and season with salt and 1 tablespoon of taco seasoning.
Cook the ground turkey. Use the back of a wooden spoon or spatula to break large chunks of turkey and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until deeply golden and cooked through.
Set the cooked turkey to one side and let cool for 5 minutes.
Layer the cooled ground turkey at the bottom of six mason jars. Add layers of black beans, corn, romaine, cheese, and tomatoes.
Serve at your next picnic.
This Taco Salad in a Jar is a perfect picnic recipe! Try it out at your next lunch al fresco and don’t forget to come back and leave a review if you try this recipe.
I think i'll stick to the chicken quinoa jar instead it has more taste to it this one is kinda bland.
Missing the crunch of the taco sadly, its good but the shell really does make a difference.
Made it today for my kids to take to lunch and they came back telling me how all their friends were jealous because they didnt have cool colorful jars lol.
Tasty and unique design for sure but you can't fit too much in a jar so i'd say its not the best if youre going for a full meal, but works if youre going for a lunch or snack type of thing.
Adorable little taco salad! too cute and small portions are the way to go when on a diet like myself.
