Taco Salad (Gluten Free Vegan)

  Skip this one if nightshades add to your joint pain...

Chopped romaine lettuce
organic salsa (I use Nature's Promise- or homemade)
refried beans (I use Amy's)
can add meat or vegan meat substitute -or leave out for vegan version (I sometimes add cooked chicken or ground beef or turkey)
guacamole (sometimes homemade -sometimes Whole Foods)
olive oil sautéed Food For Life brown Rice Tortilla (til crisp) or Tortilla Chips (watch the corn, some folks are intolerant and it can cause joint pain they have rice tortilla chips as well)
can add jalapeno or red bell pepper
can add your favorite vegan cheese shreds (I leave this out in this recipe)

add Italian dressing
equal parts olive oil and red wine vinegar
minced garlic
dried basil
