If you have taco ingredients on hand but don't have time to assemble the tacos themselves, make a taco salad. For this Tex-Mex-inspired salad, you'll need some grilled chicken (leftovers from last night's dinner are fine), a can of black beans, romaine lettuce, spices including chili powder, and other traditional taco toppings like shredded cheese, guacamole, and sour cream. Cut the tortillas into strips and fry them. They'll make a great crunchy addition to your salad.
