My philosophy is simple: I believe what we consume is everything—from the foods we put in our body, to the ideas we feed for our minds, to the connections we have with others. Everything gives you energy, and what you take in determines how your life will be. My goal is to champion a healthy lifestyle that is simple, accessible, and gives your body what it needs to fuel your best life possible.

Mexican-Style Cheeseburger Salad
Prep Time: 10 min
Cook Time: 8 min
Ingredients:
- 1 large container romaine hearts, chopped
- 2 roma tomatoes, diced
- ½ red onion, sliced thin
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tbsp cumin powder
- 2 cups shredded cheddar jack cheese
- 1 lime, juiced
- Salsa, for serving
- Tostada shells, slightly smashed for serving
- Guacamole, for serving
Directions:
In a large bowl, mix together ground beef, chili powder, salt and pepper. Divide into 4 sections to create 4 hamburger patties.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, add a little bit of olive oil and place your burgers in the pan. Be sure to leave a little room between the burgers so they brown and don’t steam. Cook for 3 minutes per side for medium. Remove from the heat and set aside.
In a clean, large bowl, toss together the romaine hearts, roma tomatoes, red onion and shredded cheese. Pour the lime juice, a little olive oil, salt and pepper over the salad and toss to coat. Divide among serving dishes, top with the burger, salsa, broken tostada shells and guacamole.
Other Ways To Prepare This Meal:
Plant-based: Use veggie burgers and vegan cheese shreds.
Add spice: Add pickled jalapenos to the salad or use hot chili powder in the burgers.
Kid-friendly: Serve their burger and salad in a whole wheat tortilla.
