Taco salad is one of the meals that was on regular rotation when I was growing up. It was a quick and easy meal my mom could throw together after working a long day. It was also a meal that everyone was excited about. It's always a favorite when it comes together quickly and tastes amazing.
We prefer to provide most of our own produce. Living in the desert southwest, lettuce is usually a hard no anytime outside of the winter. I was so excited to find this indoor hydroponic system by @MiracleGro. I now have a side table that provides our family with lettuce all year round. I harvest using the haircut method (trimming off the top of the lettuce) and stretch each planting a little further. Check it out.
